Patagonia, 1960. Jose is on the run. Having fled from him homeland
Germany, he has come to South America to continue his work - Jose
is a doctor, who is seeking to manipulate genes to create the
'perfect' human race'. In the small village of Chacharramendi he
first meets Lilith, a child he notices from the balcony of his
motel and is instantly fascinated yet repulsed by. For Lilith has a
growth defect, and the disproportionate size of her features
represent all he is trying to exterminate from humankind. Yet, even
more fascinating is the fact that her siblings are perfect examples
of the Aryan race; tall, strongly built and fair. The anomaly of
Lilith's existence fascinates him, and when he discovers Lilith's
mother is pregnant, if he is not mistaken with twins, the
temptation to involve himself in their lives and even interfere
with the pregnancy is too much for him to pass up on. A cold,
calculating but eerily charming man, Jose befriends Lilith and
manipulates his way into the family. And so begins a dark
relationship between the doctor and little girl, a kind of love
that cannot end well. For Jose is actually Nazi doctor Josef
Mengele, infamous for performing human experiments at Auschwitz and
sooner or later his past is going to catch up with him.
