Tuvalu is a 1999 experimental movie from Germany.[2] The style evokes early 20th Century Silent movies and motifs commonly found in German expressionism. The sparse dialog is presented in a mix of European languages. The film stars Denis Lavant as Anton and Chulpan Khamatova as Eva.[3]

The film focuses on Anton as he tries to win the heart of Eva and save his family's bath house from the wrecking ball.
