Based on the 1928 novella written by Georges Bataille, the film takes place in a seemingly abandoned house where a group of people engage in bizarre wordless acts. Just as the book does, the film spans several vignettes.

**This movie is a train wreck.** You watch it in spite of yourself. The only redeeming part of the movie was the interracial scene. The sex was tepid which is more than I can say about the rest of the movie. If I were to give this movie a "thumbs" rating, I would chop off any thumb that did not attempt to hitchhike its way away from this disaster.

At the cemetery, in an abandoned factory, in an asylum, in a landfill, in places full of sorrow, our heroes search for love and togetherness. By combining documentary material, animation and acting interpretation of the thoughts of our heroes, we get to know lives between disappointment and hope, quite similar to ours.More...
