The premise

Increasingly overshadowed by her boyfriend's recent rise to fame as a contemporary artist creating sculptures from stolen furniture, Signe hatches a vicious plan to reclaim her rightfully deserved attention within the milieu of Oslo's cultural elite.

Horror Vault's take

In Oslo's image-obsessed cultural scene, Signe grows increasingly desperate as her boyfriend's art career eclipses her own hunger for the spotlight. What begins as petty one-upmanship escalates into a deeply disturbing scheme rooted in self-inflicted suffering. Norwegian filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli crafts a razor-sharp dark comedy that turns body horror into a vehicle for blistering social satire. The result is a film that makes you laugh, wince, and squirm in equal measure.
