Nymphomaniac is a wild, poetic drama about a woman's erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg). On a cold winter's evening the old, charming bachelor Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård) finds Joe beaten up in an alleyway. He brings her home to his flat where he tends to her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe, over the next eight chapters, recounts the lustful story of her highly erotic life. Seligman reads a lot of books, from which he has acquired various general knowledge. He connects the stories told with what he has read about.

The story is divided in two volumes and eight chapters, Volume I follows Young Joe as portrayed by Stacy Martin, while the older Joe in Seligman's apartment is played by Gainsbourg, and Volume II follows Joe as portrayed by Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Movie in English with subtitles in Latvian and Russian.
