Plot
Three important moments, all sensual, define Ana's life. Her mundane quests oscillate between reality and chromatic fantasy... becoming more and more oppressive. Black roped hands prevented her from screaming. The wind lifted her dress and caressed her thighs. Razors brush against her skin: where will this chaotic, carnivorous journey leave her ?
