The Girl and Death (Dutch: Het Meisje en de Dood) is a 2012 Dutch film directed by Jos Stelling.[1][2]
Plot[]
The Girl and Death is a love story of Nicolai and Elise (a courtesan). Their love is obstructed by materialism, wealth, and death. The film, based on an original script by Jos Stelling and Bert Rijkelijkhuizen, tells the story of the Russian physician Nicolai, who returns to an old hotel, the place where he first met his great love half a century ago and relives his romantic tragedy.
A large part of the film is set in the late nineteenth century, and the action takes place in an abandoned hotel/sanatorium in ^, Thuringia where most of the film was also shot. The hotel still bears the traces of past glory. Eventually, it becomes clear why Nicolai has really returned.
