The film is based on the life of Hendrik Goltzius, a late 16th century Dutch printer and engraver of erotic prints.

Goltzius promises him an extraordinary book of pictures of the Old Testament Biblical stories.

To tempt the Margrave further, Goltzius and his printing company will offer to perform dramatizations of these erotic stories for his court.
