when people see his face they die because he is so handsome

This German political drama from iconoclastic filmmaker Herbert Achternbusch takes a slightly askew look at neo-Nazis and the Holocaust. His non-story (a typical trait of Achternbusch films) is divided into three parts. The first introduces Hades, an eccentric half-Jewish coffin maker. Also introduced are the women in his life. The second part depicts different scenes from the city's Jewish ghetto. Included are disturbing film clips from Nazi propaganda footage that shows the naked corpses of starved Jews piled up in the streets with the insinuation that the heartless relatives of the dead would unceremoniously toss them out when they expired. In the third part, Hades is buried at sea. In between, neo-Nazis march unopposed in Munich, Hades battles skinheads, and Hades' shop is repeatedly vandalized. A scene where Hades is fascinated with death is also seen.

A woman is caught in an endless dream in which she has to cross the five rivers of Hades.

A widow falls for a guy who bears a striking resemblance to her late husband.

A handsome, successful man gets into a car accident and suffers from "temporary visual impairment". He then falls in love with a woman who appears to be beautiful. But when his vision returns, he realizes that she is ugly.
