Intro. The story of Aaron von Metz is a dark and claustrophobic dive into the psyche of a man broken by war, but not for his explicit violence, but for his own physical condition. It is a character study that explores themes of wounded pride, its own hatred, and the distorted search for perfection in a world flooded by the most impure ideology.
Aaron, a young and promising SS captain, saw his life and future shattered by an accident on the oriental front. Now, marked by a crippled leg and a cane that is both his anchor and his symbol of shame, he struggles to keep a facade of coldness and control in a world he believes to have relegated to irrelevance.
In a desperate act to prove his value before his father, a cold -hearted general, and for Reich himself, Aaron resorts to the Lebensborn project. He has acquired an anonymous young woman from Leningrad, reducing her to a number-74-a mere instrument to generate the perfect son he could never be. Est
