West Germany, 1981.
Noah, eighteen years old, still struggles with the pain of his mother leaving him when he was a child. He lives with his father, Leonardo, who is a struggling writer fixated on researching Hitler. Noah wishes his father would focus on something else, but Leonardo is determined to continue his unusual hobby, even though they’re often short on money.
An auction featuring items related to Hitler was announced, and Leonardo decided to attend, despite Noah’s concerns. He left for the old castle where it would take place, promising to share all the details with Noah when he got back.
Leonardo consistently fails to return when he promises. After losing touch with his father, Noah decides to travel to the castle on his own. What he finds there is utterly shocking.
Noah quickly realizes he’s locked inside the castle with the other people who came to the auction. Encouraged by the auctioneer, he decides to join in the strange event that’s about to unfold.
