A young psychology student goes into a 1970’s mental hospital as part of a university independent study course. He meets an old German patient who likes to tell Grimms-like tales of horror and murder. But is it possible the old man’s “tall tales” are actually true stories? And what role did the old German man play during World War Two? Was he nothing more than a low-level guard in an art museum, as he claims, assigned to guard art treasures stolen from Jews by the Nazis? Or was he actually a high-level official in a nearby Nazi extermination camp? Either way, what is he doing acting like a patient in an American mental hospital?Just when you think you know where the plot is taking you, it changes and takes you down an unexpected path. Is it a murder mystery, a romance, a study of psychological practice and mental health treatment in a bygone era, or is it a historical account of Nazi war crimes? Actually, it’s all of the above.
