Synopsis
A young man named Bernhard discovers his father has been seeing a prostitute who he calls "Lydia." The name Lydia also happens to be the name of Bernhard's sister. This revelation leads to the disclosure of their father's long-secret obsession and forces the father to go into hiding. Bernhard is resolved to find out whether or not his father ever acted on his fantasies, while his sister wants to sort out her own memories. Despite her uncertainties, their mother's reaction leaves no question as to what she thinks. Issues of shame and guilt break up the family unit, until the father comes to a radical answer.
