Skip it. This sounds like pretentious arthouse shock value masquerading as drama—a gimmicky premise that replaces genuine emotional depth with body horror and sexual dysfunction as metaphor. Without critical validation or recognizable talent behind it, there's no reason to spend your evening on what amounts to an exploitation film dressed up in indie clothing.

Plot

A piano player meets and falls in love with a beautiful and voluptuous woman who, by some strange procedure, leaves the man unable to move but with a permanent priapism. After some time he becomes sick of it and she relieves his paralysis. Eventually she gets bored and decides to leave, but he can't take it because he loves her…
