...witness the unveiling of a memorial to her late father, a scientist who died at Auschwitz. He was denounced to the Nazis, Claudia believes, by her mother (Marie Bell), who has since remarried and gone mad. Claudia's brother, played with a nice sense of wasting vitality by Jean Sorel, is less interested in vengeance than in incest, about which he has written an autobiographical novel. Since the family closets are already bursting with scandalous secrets, Claudia begs him to destroy the book. The pair's unseemly sibling passion ultimately leads to disgrace, violence and suicide...
