This film is the first chapter of a trilogy about Statross Reichmann, an incarnation of the western world and all of its contradictions. Some stores in France and Belgium refused to sell the film due to the gay theme and three words printed large on the cover: sex, race, and death. 　　Statross is a mixed-race baron who lives in a mansion haunted by the ghost of his father, a Nazi colonel. Statross is tormented by his identity and the past of his ancestors.
