Die Rosenkreuzer

Franz Anton Mesmer is a physician and magnetist and enjoys the benevolence of the Emperor, who does not suspect that his friend is the president of the "Rosenkreuzer", a secret covenant. But the influence of this union is more extensive than he initially assumes. The numerous original locations and the requisites of the Hofmobiliendepot give the film a strong authenticity. (Viennale)
