The son, killing his father before an order to torture the woman can be carried out, then turns the city's churches into dens of sexual debauchery. Acts of evil and corruption continue unabated until the arrival of Death, who brings with her a horrible plague which she is about to loose upon the city.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Otto Rippert constructs a silent narrative that relies on the stark contrast between visual opulence and moral decay. It explores divine retribution, using the allegorical figures of Death and Plague as a punishing force that blurs the line between historical drama and eerie horror.
What lingers after viewing is a hypnotic parable about the price of corruption. The film's symbolic imagery creates a lasting sense of decadence and inevitable doom. — MovieFinder Editorial
