The more shadows there are, the brighter the light illuminating that moment shines

PLOT

A woman spends her days with a sadistic man and decadent eyes. The man, with eyes drowning in drugs, constantly demands abnormal sexual acts from the woman. Eventually, after the man commits murder, the woman tries to escape this wrong way of life. The film depicts a world adorned with sex and violence. In the corners of the city, an exclusive individual builds their own colony. Imperfect human relationships, born from incomplete communication, unfold under the slow passage of time. The shadow-based imagery envelops the entire film more than necessary, in order to highlight the dark side of the human heart.
