What is Werckmeister Harmonies about? Toggle content

In a small, desolate town in Hungary, a young newspaper delivery man named János Valuska becomes embroiled in a series of strange events after the arrival of a mysterious circus and its enigmatic performer, known only as "The Prince." As tensions rise and the townspeople become increasingly unhinged, János finds himself caught up in a surreal and violent storm that threatens to destroy the very fabric of the community. Meanwhile, János's Uncle György, a musicologist obsessed with finding the perfect musical scale, becomes embroiled in his own personal struggles as he tries to navigate the treacherous political landscape of the town. As the fog closes in and the whale's rotting carcass looms large, the town descends into chaos and destruction, leaving János and György to ponder their own place in this bizarre and unsettling world.
