Story
Switzerland , 1912 . A couple of young people celebrate their wedding here and spend their honeymoon. During the ascent they are caught by a snowstorm. His wife fell into a crevice, and her husband, photographer Charles Castle, was left miraculously alive, but fell into anguish and despair.
1914 A young widower is sent to the front, where guardian angels are still looking after him. Mines manage to explode only after Charles walked slowly into the trench with a slow walk with a tripod in his hands.
After the war, he became a successful photo master exposing occultists in fairy photo montage portraits.
When one of his clients, Beatrice Templeton, asks him to help, he goes to Berkendale, where the fairies were supposedly busy.
... On the very first day Beatrice, who invited him, dies.
... And on the second day Charles saw the fairies with his own eyes and climbed up a tree behind them. When he woke up, his forehead was covered in blood, and the memory of a happy orgasm was firmly remembered.
