Divided in three chapters: Creation, Paradise and The Golden Age. Narrated by three different German narrators: Film historian Lotte Eisner, Eugen Des Montagnes, and Wolfgang von Ungern-Sternberg. The term which has become this film’s title, Fata Morgana, refers to mirages, and is an apt title for this work shot in the deserts of North Africa. It is a rhythmic, musical succession of images and short scenes.
