Filmmaker Peter Cohen postulates a theory that the Third Reich's obsessive pursuit of an ideal society was in part a fulfillment of its leaders' own aborted creative careers. Using archival footage underscoring National Socialism's obsession with purity and order, and contrasting it with the so-called ''degenerate'' work of the German avant garde, Cohen attempts to draw parallels between Hitler's own subjective aesthetic views and his systematic extermination of millions of European Jews.
