A man called Theo(Lanchbury) finds a boot in a lake. He is a photographer. He lives with his aunt Sarah(Andersson) who works in fashion.

She sees someone watching her and becomes scared. Tulia and Theo spend time together with Sarah. They play strip poker. Tulia and Theo end up spending the night together. Sarah isn't happy about it. Tulia dreams of her friend who was called Ronda. She dreams of Ronda and Theo together. Ronda has disappeared. Mr. Field(Brown)is investigating. Sarah tells Theo she wanted to have a threesome with Tulia, just like they did with Ronda.
 

Mr. Field goes to see Theo and he asks him some questions about Ronda. Theo had a relationship with her. Theo tells him that Ronda was going to Italy. Tulia looks around the house. She sees dolls nailed to the wall. The mysterious man is there too. Theo is buying drugs from a guy called Tom. Tom wants to have sex with Tulia and he almost rapes her. Theo doesn't stop him, he takes photographs. Tulia is very upset. The next day, Sarah and Tulia get naked and Tom photographs it. They have a threesome. Mr. Field is outside. He is watching. He makes a noise and Theo hears it. He goes outside and he finds Mr. Field and kills him. Tulia finds a key to Theo's darkroom. She discovers pictures of Theo and Ronda.


Theo arranged for the mysterious man to rape Ronda and he took photos of it. Tom stabbed her and killed her along with some other local man. Theo goes to kill Tulia now that she knows the truth. She runs off but he catches her and kisses her as he stabs her to death. This was a weird movie. I wasn't sure what to make of it and not much happened besides the sex scenes. There isn't a lot to it. It was okay. I will give it a 4/10.
