    The son of an Argentine chemist travels to Vienna to solve the murder of his father.

Meanwhile, he also realizes that there is no connection between his father’s murderess and those dubious activities. Her motive for killing him goes back much further, to a court hearing during the Third Reich.

    Sex-Power (L’homme coeur) is a film about what happens when imagination takes over.
