Plot

A revolt at an institution for little people.

Sinekatalog’s take

Werner Herzog's bizarre parable has little people rebelling at an institution in a chaotic, nihilistic farce. Strange, disturbing and funny, it is a provocative cult oddity both unsettling and hypnotic.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
