In early 20th century Germany, a scientist obsessed with creating human life embarks on a disturbing experiment. Inspired by myths and legends, he seeks to create a perfect woman from a magical root, which he finds in a mysterious location. Under the influence of science and superstition, he utilizes the powers of the root along with his own knowledge of biology and genetics.
The result is a beautiful and seductive woman who seems to have been drawn from a dream, but as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that her origin is nothing more than a chilling artifice. The creation, whom the scientist names, becomes the center of attention and passion for those around her, including her creator himself. However, the nature of her existence begins to reveal a darker side.
Tormented by her lack of a soul and the quest for her identity, the woman becomes a symbol of both beauty and despair. Amid love, desire, and revenge, her life becomes increasingly complicated as she confronts the dilemmas of her artificial existence. The film unfolds in a gothic setting, where the fantastical and the macabre intertwine, challenging the boundary between the human and the monstrous. As the characters are swept up in this duality, the story raises profound questions about the morality of science and the price of playing God.
