"In 1852, a girl named Hannah Meyer, an inhabitant of Frankfurt's notorious Jewish ghetto, is admitted to the town she hasn't spoken, slept or eaten in weeks and wagging tongues have resulted in a diagnosis of nymphomania. In an increasingly obsessed effort to cure her, Dr. Hoffman uses all the methods at his disposal, from ice packs to blood letting to electrodes. Nothing works until he resorts to talking - revealing the fascinating case histories of his other patients as well as his own troubled home life. Only then does Hannah begin to respond and gradually yield her tale of love, transgression and prejudice." As the secrets hidden in Hannah's mind are exposed, Hoffman begins to uncover his own buried truths and, in the end, discover his real reasons for being.
