Infos

A tale of sexual jealousy and guilt.

---

Theodore is gentle and benevolent, Ramon is hot-tempered and moody. Theo comes from a wealthy German family; Ramon was born into poverty. Theo believes in nothing; Ramon is a devout Roman Catholic. On the surface they seem to have nothing in common - except Lelia, that is. The best friends have no problem with sharing the affections of the young painter - until Theo discovers her dead in her studio, raped and mutilated. Theo's thoughts immediately turn to his friend, but is Ramon to blame for her brutal murder?
