Polish director Andrzej Zulawski used the conventions of horror and science fiction to make this metaphorical political tale. When Mark (Sam Neill) returns from a business trip to Munich, his wife Anna (Isabelle Adjani) leaves him. He hires private detectives to learn why, but they disappear while on the case. The fact is that they have been killed by Anna and fed to a horrible tentacled monster that she keeps in a Berlin apartment -- the reason she left Mark. For a time, Mark considers seducing his son’s conservative tutor, Helen (also played by Adjani), but eventually he decides to track down his missing wife. When he learns about the monster and the murders, he loyally helps her to hide the evidence.
