医生与护士，妇产科里的医院风云。从一位男医生的性生活发展，以诙谐手法刻划人性及医院里的人际关系。

单身的约翰与已婚妇人玛莎的风流韵事常起波澜，一天在街上不期而遇看到安娜，遂邀她到小饭馆里喝酒。欢愉的一夜，约翰醉了，安娜叫车送他回去，可是约翰说不出地址，只好留在她家。
第二天，约翰醒来自行离去，但不久又折回拿遗落的钥匙，在安娜的怂恿下，他们匆忙的出门，汽车直驶郊外，两人悠闲的渡过星期天。
隔天上班，安娜对约翰医生对她的不理不睬与冷漠态度感到十分意外，也发现任何新进的护士都是约翰猎取的目标。她帮助理拿验孕报告，因不知姓名而在档案上写著安娜的名字，化验报告是怀孕成功，在楼梯间约翰看了一下报告，安娜并未多做解释，反而扮演自己是怀孕少女的角色。约翰只示意淡淡的关怀，其事不关己的态度，使安娜决定要教训他。

The subject of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedokles (The Death of Empedocles, 1987) is the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 430 BC), who lived in the Greek colony of Agrigentum in Sicily. His theories are mentioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all matter is made up of four irreducible elements: water, earth, air and fire. A mystic and a poet, he is considered to be the founder of classical rhetoric. He is also thought to be the last Greek philosopher to write in verse; two fragments of his works survive: Katharmoi (Purifications) and Peri Phuseôs (On Nature). An advocate of democracy, he came into conflict with his fellow citizens of Agrigentum and, as result, was banished with his young disciple, Pausanius. When he was asked to return, he preferred to commit suicide by throwing himself into the active volcano at Mount Aetna.
The German writer Friedrich Hölderlin wrote two versions of Der Tod des Empedokles in 1798 and 1800, and a final third version in 1820, all three ultimately unfinished. They were conceived as five-act tragedies and all three differ in plot. According to Michael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s English-language translator,
the main reason why Hölderlin finished no version of the play must be that he remained too closely identified with Empedocles, at the very period in his life when his own view of the poet as philosopher, prophet and priest – and as tragic hero – was subject to perpetual crisis and re-examination.
Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based on Hölderlin’s first version (the longest of the three), whereas Black Sin is based on the third version.
