Doctors say that Veronika, a woman in her 20s, is schizophrenic. She is compliant, which makes her an easy target for men. She's religious, believing she is God's favorite child; she searches for Jesus. She has sent a letter to a filmmaker suggesting her life as the subject for a movie. We see her raped then take up with a series of men she believes are Jesus, each willing or insistent on sex. A young man with his own crisis of faith invites her to join a cult. We see her involuntarily committed to an asylum from time to time where medication and constraints await. Her wealthy parents are helpless. Will a medical professional ever talk to her? If one did, would it help?

Фильм описывает в биографических эпизодах жизнь коменданта концлагеря «Освенцим-Биркенау» - Франца Ланга. Он основан на жизни настоящего коменданта - Рудольфа Хёсса. От Первой мировой войны до его тюремного заключения и казни через повешение в Польше после окончания Второй мировой войны. Человек, который был обучен выполнять приказы без возражений, он контролировал массовое уничтожение евреев. Показ нацистских методов расправы над людьми, о которых рассказывает фильм, не оставляет зрителя равнодушным.

The life and struggles of the German writer Heinrich von Kleist.

Based on a very successful play of the same name by Tankred Dorst, this film tells a story about Norwegian author Knut Hamsun (here played by O.E. Hasse), a Nobel prizewinner for literature who was notorious for having collaborated with the Nazi regime. After the war, rather than hand him over for prosecution, he was sent to a retirement home. A young man, bitter about the war, tracks him down and begins to harass him in various ways. The author handles everything that comes to him with remarkable dignity, which eventually removes some of the taint from his actions.
