See You in Hell, My Darling

What’s hell for others is home for us.This is the story of Vera, Elsa and a man, and of the great love that bound them to each other.They started out wanting to grow up together but they didn’t get very far. Leaving behind them a desolate world full of traps, our heroes embark on a nocturnal journey of hallucination, desperate tenderness and violence, where each one of them, in her or his own underhanded, bloodcurdling way, tries to annihilate the other in order to win Hell for her/himself.
