A city scenario: gutted, destroyed, left to decay. Concrete deserts, urban motorways and urban canyons, condemned houses, dumps, factories in ruins. Endless darkness, rain and war. In the year 2700, the year of the toads, "Asche" was a burnt-out city. Too big for its souls, who banded together in dark cellars, it was an unrestrained wild animal, ready to pee in Death's face at any time...
“A word about FLAMING EARS. A generation ago the film was still small and sweet in Super 8: now it's casually grown-up and digitally fully present, thanks to Asta Nielsen… This film, made in 1991, anticipated ideas that people only later found expressions for: Demonstrate diversity! De-integrate yourselves! Come to terms with the present! Mobilise! (Dietrich Kuhlbrodt, February 2021)
