Rosenrot (2005) was Rammstein's fifth studio album, and "Rosenrot" ("Rose-red") was the third song on the German album. The video for "Rosenrot" premiered on MTV Germany.
Interestingly, "Rosenrot" is about a man who tragically attempts to fulfill the request of his lover to fetch a rose from a mountain.
However, the video, set in Romania, is about an age-gap relationship between a monk (vocalist Till Lindemann) and a village girl (14-year-old Romanian model Cătălina Lavric) whom the monk eyes at a feast.
Instead of requesting a rose from a mountain, the nymphet requested that the monk kill her parents. Unable to resist the allure of a Romanian nymphet, after sleeping under the nymphet's bed and the nymphet caresing the monk with a rose, the monk fulfilled the request only to be burned at the stake by the villagers - upon the nymphets request.
We've seen this monk slash nymphet theme slash motif in a number of movies like The Monk (2011) and The Night of the Iguana (1964).
