In 1959, a German scientist meets a family on their way to Patagonia and is invited to stay at their hostel. The family does not know that this man is actually the Nazi criminal Josef Mengele, wanted by the Israeli intelligence service. Josef's charisma and mystery seduce the daughter, whose physique fascinates the doctor. Lilith is a blonde teenager, with white skin and blue eyes, almost perfect for Mengele, but she is just over a meter tall. In Lilith, Josef relives his obsessions about purity and perfection, as in the dolls of Aryan aesthetic ideal that the father manufactures. Lucía Puenzo combines historical references in an original and disturbing fiction that explores the borders between good and evil and shows the horror of a man's darkest thoughts.
Lucía Puenzo is an Argentine author, screenwriter and film director. She is the daughter of the Oscar-winning film director, producer, and screenplay writer, Luis Puenzo.
