"...and in her fear
She sought cracked pleasures
The passion of lovers is for Death said she
The passion of lovers is for Death..."

Livia and SS-Obersturmführer Helmut Schultze, the tragic, doomed lovers bond by mutual kinks and obsessive cravings.

When Livia, the forty-something neglected wife of an Italian politician falls for the much younger, handsome German officer, she doesn't know yet that the carnal passion they share will destroy them both.

Here starts a tale of jealousy and obsessive-compulsive infatuation. When her youg lover betrays and leaves her, Livia will turn into a cold, merciless executor, and will have him killed.

The passion of lovers is for death, indeed.
