This is the story of Dominic Matei around World War II. He is a smart student who becomes a professor and then a 70 year old man. The movie opens with Dominic waking up and going to his favorite bar/restaurant (Café Select) in his pajamas in the middle of winter. He is intercepted on the way to the cafe and reminded of Christmas Eve and his under dressed condition. He returns grumbling about going to someplace where no one knows him. He has apparently lived a solitary existence because he has been preoccupied by his “work” (to find the origin of human language and how it evolved).
He goes to Bucharest to die carrying with him an envelope filled with poison. As he is walking down a street he is struck by a bolt of lightning which gives him third degree burns. He is taken to a hospital where he heals into a young man with supernatural powers (which he discovers as his life progresses).
He is helped out of the hospital by the doctor who nurses him. He publishes about his remarkable recovery and it arouses the interests of the Nazis. They send over a female spy who seduces him and talks with him in various languages. Dominic discovers he has an unnatural talent for learning languages in his sleep in addition to no longer seeming to age.
As his condition and abilities progress, Dominic becomes aware of an ‘other’ self who speaks to him in mirrors and his dreams. This other, whom looks exactly like Dominic, serves as the voice of his condition and seemingly knows everything about his newly found power. His friend and caretaker discovers Dominic speaking to himself as he manifests two roses from thin air. This gives him great concern and understanding why the Nazis are so set on attaining Dominic for themselves, which leads to his helping Dominic escape. We learn later that this doctor died in a plane crash shortly after, whether this is connected to the Nazis remains ambiguous. Further isolating him, Dominic also finds that the Nazis confiscated all of the research conducted on his condition from his time in the hospital, effectively erasing his existence as anything other than an old professor who died in a storm.
