Synopsis

Un soir d'été, le jeune résistant juif Elisha apprend qu'il est choisi pour commettre à l'aube un acte irrémédiable. Il doit tuer John Dawson, un officier de l'armée d'occupation britannique en Palestine qu'il n'a jamais rencontré auparavant et que l'on retient en otage. Elisha a une nuit entière pour se préparer à assumer son rôle de bourreau. Et aussi pour défendre son acte vis-à-vis des morts qui, en juges ou en témoins, sont venus assister à l’exécution. L'aube, devient ainsi le couronnement de la nuit au lieu d’être l'annonciatrice du jour. C'est l'heure où le bourreau et sa victime, se trouvant face à face, engagent un dialogue simple et tragique où étincelle l'aveuglante vérité de l'homme.

Following the quelling of Lajos Kossuth's 1848 revolution against Habsburg rule in Hungary, prison camps were set up for people suspected of being Kossuth's supporters. Around 20 years later, some members of highwayman Sándor Rózsa's guerrilla band, believed to be some of Kossuth's last supporters, are known to be interned among the prisoners in a camp. The prison staff try to identify the rebels and find out if Sándor is among them using various means of mental and physical torture and trickery. When one of the guerrillas, János Gajdar, is identified as a murderer by an old woman, he starts aiding his captors by acting as an informant. Gajdar is told that if he can show his captors a man who has killed more people than himself, he will be spared. Fearing for his life, he turns in several people his captors had been looking for by name, but could not identify among the prisoners.

Au XIX siècle, un jeune prince héritier — jamais nommé, mais identifiable comme étant l'archiduc Rodolphe, fils de François-Joseph Ier et héritier du trône austro-hongrois — se désintéresse des affaires de l'État et mène une vie frivole et dissolue dans une villa isolée. Il consacre l'essentiel de ses journées à des relations sexuelles avec sa maîtresse Mary, ainsi qu'avec sa demi-sœur et son demi-frère (enfants adultérins de l'empereur) et sa servante Thérèse. Vers la fin du film, Mary se révèle être un « hermaphrodite ». Le prince fait éconduire sans ménagement les émissaires de son père qui cherchent à le faire revenir à la cour.
