The renowned author Rudolf Herter is in Vienna, having been invited there to read from his masterwork, 'The Invention Of Love'. During one TV interview he is confronted by questions that will come to haunt him: can a work of imagination help to understand the nature of evil? Can a modern-day novelist write of the horrors of war and, in particular, of Adolf Hitler?
Later in his visit, Herter is approached by an old couple, the Falks, who, inspired by his performance, wish to pass on to him a painful true account of their own. They force him to promise that he will not tell a soul until after their deaths, only then can the truth be revealed.
As servants at the Furhrer's retreat, Berghof, the Falks looked after Hitler's lover, Eva Braun, a permanent guest. In time, they would all share a closely guarded secret. And, ultimately, their lives would become even further intertwined - through an act of brutality that would scar them for ever . . .
