Overview

Two aging crooks are given two weeks to repay a debt to a woman named The American. They recruit their recently deceased partner's son to help them break into a laboratory and steal the vaccine against STBO, a sexually transmitted disease that is sweeping the country. It's spread by having sex without emotional involvement, and most of its victims are teenagers who make love out of curiosity rather than commitment.

How It Feels

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

A fever dream of a heist film where the real stakes are emotional rather than criminal, a meditation on impossible love and aging men grasping at meaning wrapped in neon-lit science fiction and stylized crime. The film moves with the logic of desire rather than plot, swallowing you into its strange, beautiful world.
