Rob (Daktari Lorenz) is an employee at Joe's Streetcleaning Agency, a roving team of misfits who visit roadside accidents and clean up the mess. He lives with his girlfriend Betty (Beatrice M.) in a small Berlin flat. Pictures of centerfold models and serial killers decorate the walls. Human body parts are neatly displayed, floating in formaldehyde, sealed in glass jars. Rob adds to his collection daily, much to Betty's delight.
Not content with body parts alone, Rob surprises Betty by presenting her with a bloated corpse pulled from a swamp. Betty is overjoyed, and with the rotten corpse between them, they pledge undying love.
But all good things must end. Betty soon becomes enamored with the corpse, and leaves Rob alone, taking it with her as a parting gift. Unable to cope with his loss, Rob travels a twisted road of sickness and self-abuse before finding salvation and happiness through a very sharp knife. Completed in 1987, Nekromantik shocked the world, proving that director Jorg Buttgereit and low budget filmmaking were forces to reckon with. Not for the squeamish, Nekromantik is presented uncut and unrated.
