Description: Two siblings wake up one morning in bed, completely naked. Their mother had passed away just weeks before, and before her death, she urged them to find their birth father, who abandoned them when they were infants. Embarking on a journey to locate him, they visit hospitals, nursing homes, and detention centers. Along the way, they encounter individuals who offer glimpses into potential futures—like parallel quantum universes—showing what their lives could become. Is this world suitable for these young souls? Will they alter their true selves to survive? Inspired by a true story, this independent film stands out for its bold narrative style, often provocative and unapologetically unconventional, yet deeply thought-provoking and emotionally gripping.
The film’s explicit content, including graphic nudity and sexual scenes from the very beginning, pushes boundaries and has earned it an NC-17 rating in the U.S. This classification limits its commercial screening, as many theaters and newspapers avoid advertising such films. The dialogue, often consisting of monologues, frequently delves into vivid descriptions of sexual acts and challenges societal taboos, making it a polarizing yet unforgettable cinematic experience.
