She invites sailors with her singing voice to die and it is a very romantic, mysterious and beautiful fable. A story of Lola, a today’s woman, crosses Loreley’s story and reveals why Loreley sings.

My video is not really art and not really cinema either. (...) Somehow it was my small art statement.

It shows a suppressed emotion of a famous figure made by men and typical femininity that society expects. The shouting of Lola and Loreley breaks this taboo to liberate them from stereotypes and to express what they want.
