In 1850s Frankfurt, a Jewish girl named Hannah Meyer enters the town asylum, rumoured to be suffering from nymphomania. She is treated by Dr Heinrich Hoffmann, physician and famed author of the book of children's cautionary tales, Struwwelpeter, who uses every method from ice packs to electrodes in an effort to cure her. Nothing works, until he resorts to talking - telling her anecdotes from his youth, revealing the case histories of Hannah's fellow patients, confessing to his troubled home life. Only then does Hannah begin to yield her haunting tale of love, prejudice and transgression.
