Synopsis:

This harrowing portrait of a thirty-something business woman who succumbs to an obsession with cutting her own flesh suggests that such extreme behavior is often a desperate attempt to re-establish a connection with the body that has been lost. Esther (Marina de Van), the central character, finds herself on the fast track to disaster after she injures a leg while stumbling around a junk-strewn building site in the dark. She develops an intoxicated, almost cannibalistic fascination with her own torn flesh and ability to ignore physical pain. Because the camera shares her voyeuristic fascination with her skin, the movie is often uncomfortable to watch. But the intensity of its focus on Esther's loss of control ultimately forces us to identify her behavior with whatever embarrassing tics and eccentricities we might be struggling to conceal. A brave and scary filmmaking debut

Esther's life is panning out nicely. She will soon move in with her boyfriend Vincent and she seems set to get a permanent position at the public relations company where she freelances. All would be fine if Esther didn't accidentally discover a piercing curiosity about her own body.
