Do you know what really goes on in the mind of the person with whom you sleep?

CrimeDramaRomance

A very gentle middle-aged man is married, but when he falls in love with another woman, he decides that to divorce his wife would humiliate her too much – so instead he decides to kill her.

VIBE

A quiet, simmering unease pervades this melancholic drama. It feels like watching a slow-motion car crash, where every polite conversation is laced with unspoken desperation and a creeping sense of dread. The mood is somber, the style understated yet potent.
