Paralyzed in an iron lung, Klaus is a former Nazi
death camp doctor hiding in postwar Spain. He hires
Angelo to be his nurse, unaware that the young man
knows about his murderous wartime secrets and is
committed to making history repeat itself. Personal
and historical traumas blur together as Angelo and
Klaus begin a perverse relationship where violence,
power, and sexual desire become inseparable. In
a Glass Cage offers a savage critique of fascism’s
lingering effects upon body and mind. Prepare for
a claustrophobic descent into the darkest shades of
human behavior in this controversial, highly stylized
art-horror classic.
