An erotic mystery about power and sex, and a man’s struggle to regain his lost self.
While walking to buy cigarettes, the professional dancer Daniel is abducted and raped over many days by three hooded women. When he is released, the director of his company Isabel has already replaced him in the play and his girlfriend gives him a cold reception. The disturbed and humiliated Daniel leaves the dance company and travels obsessed to seek out the abductors. Daniel has sex with many women that he suspects might be the kidnappers, and his emotions and anger spill over whenever he encounters any woman whose body, voice or smell takes him back to that room.

“A challenging and subversive erotic thrill.” – Empire
“A powderkeg of a film, boldly provocative, sharply intelligent, beautifully realized and utterly original.” – Sydney Film Festival
“Shot like a lush, hypnotic waking dream, it’s boldly beautiful and plays some half-smart games with sex, power and gender politics.” – BBC.com
