Tenderness of the Wolves
A bleak, historically grounded portrait of a serial killer that uses the predatory exploitation of vulnerable young men to examine desire, desperation, and moral decay in interwar Germany.
A German serial killer preys on boys and young men during the so-called years of crisis between the wars. Based on the true story of Fritz Haarmann, aka the Butcher of Hanover and the Vampire of Hanover.
