On November 9, 1938 (Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass), Germans went on a rampage against Jews, carting off 30,000 Jewish men to concentration camps, and wrecking 1,668 synagogues. But, despite its title, this movie has nothing to do with Kristallnacht. Instead, it is a mystical fantasy about serial reincarnation and supposed soul-mates. It begins during the German occupation of Greece. An officer's wife, with supernatural powers, falls for a young Jewish Greek iceman she believes to be her soul-mate. But when he marries someone else, she starts chasing him through time. She kills herself and is reborn as "Anna," a Jewish girl, and when that doesn't work, she tries again as "Marianna"—apparently determined not to stop until his reincarnated soul is hers.
