Lisette Malidor

A singer (Jourdan) who is controlled by her agent and the pressures of her ambiguously related co-workers attempts to make sense of her existence while exploring a zoo managed by a mysterious man (Kinski).

The film tells the story of Hendrik Goltzius, a 16th century Dutch engraver of erotic prints, who convinces the Margrave of Alsace into paying for printing two illustrated books, one of them a version of the Old Testament. To further enhance the deal, Goltzius and his company staff offer to perform dramatisations of six Old Testament erotic stories, symbolising the six sexual taboos: fornication, incest, adultery, paedophilia, prostitution and necrophilia.
