German melodrama. Ew. The addition sign and floating girl on the poster convey essential information lost in other Anglophone translations: we destroyed Dresden for a reason. Remember Sprockets? Spanish fairy tales are better anyway; they end either with Frankenstein's monster teaching a little girl about the earth or with an enchanted flaming cloud explaining why Jesus is a lamb and then descending upon and consuming that lamb.
