The story begins in late 19th Century Vienna, as Doctor Josef Breuer, an eminent physician, is approached by Louise (Lou) von Salome, the young, beautiful and passionate Russian poet. She tells him of her dear friend, Friedrich Nietzsche, who is plagued by several mysterious maladies. She considers him brilliant and revolutionary, but believes if his chronic suicidal tendencies persist he will surely take his own life.
