Sascha visits her boyfriend’s villa in Bodrum, on the Turkish Riviera, full of expectations about revelry and fun till she drops. But in this household of this drug lord, there’s no sense of measure, while violence is the main token of communication. When Sascha turns to another alpha-male, pretenses collapse and she’s forced to deal with the Mob. Focusing with surgical detail on the different, extreme variations of the entrapment of femininity, an established screenwriter and first-time director reveals the agony that is hidden under every bright, sun-drenched surface.
