Dorian Gray in the Mirror of the Popular Press

Frau Dr. Mabuse, head of an international media empire, fabricates her own reality through distortion of images, meanings and words. She is more than eager to extend her power. Bored aristocrat Dorian Gray is the perfect object and victim of her unscrupulous plan for further expansion. To make his life interesting to the general audience, as she understands it, she takes the matter in her own hands and for starters introduces him to an opera singer Andamana.
