During World War II, Maximilian Theo Aldorfer, a Nazi SS officer who posed as a doctor to take sensational photographs in concentration camps, and Lucia, a teenage girl interned in one such camp due to her father's socialist political ties, had an ambiguous sadomasochistic relationship. Max tormented Lucia, but also acted as her protector. In 1957, Lucia, now married to an American orchestra conductor, meets Max again by chance.
