France, 1920. A starving young doctor, Dario Asfar, is desperate for money to provide food and lodgings for his wife and their newborn son. As an immigrant to France with an Italian and Greek background, he is mistrusted. He implores his Russian landlady and money-lender to help him. She agrees, on the condition that he perform a secret medical procedure on her daughter-in-law who she believes is ruining her son's life. Dario is crushed by anti-immigrant discrimination and agrees - corrupting his soul in order to survive.
