A middle‑aged foreign businessman, Fabricius, seeks a night’s diversion and meets a mysterious blonde in an abandoned cemetery. She recounts three dark, erotic tales: a young rabbi attempts to sculpt a silent, living golem in “The Last Golem,” only to be distracted by a mute servant; an 18th‑century countess in “Bread Slippers” pursues forbidden love and sweets until a strange visitor whisks her to a haunted mansion; and in “Poisoned Poisoner,” a beautiful medieval murderess eliminates lecherous merchants to the beat of upbeat ’60s Czech pop.
