Synopsis

Physicist Aemelie von Erlenhofen presents a fuel-cell prototype at a conference in Venice and is killed shortly afterwards by walking dead. Before she dies she gives her husband Nadan her old porcelain doll, which speaks with his late wife's voice. The police trail leads to Aesta, a floating city on an iceberg, where it goes cold. Penniless, Nadan searches for the culprit himself and uncovers a secret.
