After a perverted impulse drives them to kill, Alice and her boyfriend, Luc, drag the body into the woods, only to find themselves hopelessly lost – much like the fairy-tale plight of Hansel and Gretel. Starving and with no hope of being found, they chance upon a dilapidated cottage where a hulking man takes them prisoner and proceeds to feed Luc's sexual appetite.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dark, transgressive fairy-tale that traps its young killers in a nightmare of their own making, escalating from impulse to imprisonment with relentless psychological and physical degradation. The film turns the hunter-hunted dynamic into a claustrophobic descent where every character's depravity becomes inescapable.
