Eighteen-year-old Noah is haunted by the memory of his mother abandoning him at a very young age. He lives together with just his father Leonardo, a failed writer and eccentric obsessed with Hitler research. Although Noah wishes his father would put aside such a strange pursuit, Leonardo has no intention of giving it up, despite the various money problems that they endure.
One day, an invitation arrives for an auction selling items connected to Hitler. Leonardo brushes aside Noah’s objections and soon departs for the ancient castle where the auction will be held. He promises to tell Noah all about it upon his return.
But Leonardo never comes home on the appointed day. Having lost all contact with his father, Noah sets off for the castle himself. There, he witnesses a most shocking sight.
