The wealthy president of a company has built up an unpayable debt to a local crime lord, and to escape punishment he sells his famous dancer wife to the lecherous old man figuring a 90 year old can’t do too much bad with her.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A descent into sexual exploitation and psychological domination that traps you in the protagonist's helplessness. Deeply uncomfortable and deliberately transgressive, this is not a film that entertains so much as it examines the machinery of dehumanization.
