Luciferin viimeinen elämä

Humanity’s greatest demon wants to become human and learn the language of love. For guidance, he chooses theater director Misha, who has a problem: he cannot find the right actor for a play about the life of early 20th-century Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke. Lucifer helps Misha find the perfect actor for the role. Along the way, through the art of the German medieval church painter Mathias Grünewald and Rilke’s poetry—both in France and Spain—the duo is followed by the ghost of Misha’s late close friend, writer Pasha. After becoming human, the demon encounters a woman who reminds him of Rilke’s muse, the Russian-born psychoanalyst-writer Lou Andreas-Salomé.
