Nietzsche

Synopsis

A Girl, raised in a railroad car, travels the world with the Circus of Max Muller, a circus of psychopaths and philosophers. She is under the care of her mother who cleans the droppings of circus animals. The Girl has a terrible childhood: after murdering her mother her Stepfather abuses her.

When the Circus disintegrates, Girl filters into the worldliness of the great city, in a rapid descent the depths of ecstasy and sex. After a crazy night, Sandra, the girl, grabs a taxi and in the journey discovers that the driver is actually her stepfather, a criminal hiding under the grotesque guise of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.

With a sinister charm: a model of Superman hangs from his rear-back mirror. They engage in a war of words through knowledge of philosophy, where mutual recognition leads to the oil fields where a chain of passion ends in a rape attempt by "Superman", the revenge of Sandra and the agonizing death of "Nietzsche".

After her release, Sandra, is transformed into a neo-superWoman.
