Two young men influenced by Nietzsche's concept of the superman kill a weak school colleague merely for the intellectual thrill of it and then invite the dead boy's father and fiancee for a meal in the room where the corpse is hidden. Based on the true story of the Leopold-Loeb murder case, the film is famous for the fact that it appears as one continuous shot of 80 minutes.
