Storyline<\/h3>\n

Max is an ex-SS who worked in a concentration camp and is now a night porter in a hotel where he meets again Lucia, a Jewish woman who had been deported during the war.<\/p>\n

An insane passion explodes between the two of them as the memories of the horrors and sexual wretchedness inside the camp resurface.<\/p>\n

Old colleagues of Max decide to eliminate Lucia because she\u2019s a dangerous witness of their past.<\/p>\n

The man barricades himself with Lucia inside his apartment where they fight to exhaustion and their erotic relationship reaches new heights.
The two will get killed while trying to escape.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
