SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
This is the story of the monster Hannibal Lecter's formative
years. These experiences as a child and young adult led to
his remarkable contribution to the fields of medicine, music,
painting and forensics. We begin in World War II at the medieval
castle in Lithuania built by Dr. Lecter's forebear, Hannibal
the Grim. The child Hannibal survives the horrors of the Eastern
Front and escapes the grim Soviet aftermath to find refuge
in France with the widow of his uncle, mysterious and beautiful
Japanese descended from Lady Murasaki Shikibu, author of the
Tale of Genji. Her kind and wise attentions help him understand
his unbearable recollections of the war. Remembering, he finds
the means to visit the outlaw predators that changed him forever
as they battened on helpless during the collapse of the Eastern
Front. Hannibal helps these war criminals toward self-knowledge
even as we see his own nature become clear to him.
