A self-serious, dour, German Holocaust researcher—and grandson of a prominent Nazi war criminal—is struggling with his family history, career, and a general state of misanthropy. At the height of his personal and professional crisis, he’s assigned a new intern who might be his exact opposite.

She’s young, passionate, Jewish, and eccentric. As she mows down the measured academic’s staid defenses, both of them begin to reveal long-kept secrets, and a surprising, dubious, and audacious romance emerges (albeit one with a serious message).
