Set during the First World War, 'El fotógrafo de cadáveres' tells the story of two protagonists: Stefan Adler, a brilliant
Viennese photographer hired to take pictures of the bodies of the children of Austrian high society killed in the Austro-Hungarian siege on the city of Belgrade; and Arthur Klammer, a young nihilistic introverted solder, who is forced to take part in a dispute he doesn't understand, a war in which here is no redemption or purification, but only an intense, unjustifiable pain.
