The Serpent's Egg

1923 Berlin winter, snow on cobblestones tickling a lone violin. A disgraced acrobat stumbles through back-alley flophouses, his brother’s suicide note tucked inside a cracked pocket watch. The city rots around him, cabarets glinting with false light. Bergman channels 1970s paranoia through silent-movie shadows—every cobwebbed hallway trembles with unseen dread.
