SYNOPSIS
Paul and Esther seem to live an idyllic life, unclouded by the conventional stresses of marriage. They even sleep with other people, at the behest of Paul.
However, Paul, unable to witness his wife enacting his scheme for the ideal marriage, reacts violently when Esther sleeps with Habib, a guest at one of the couple’s rollicking free-for-all parties.
Paul unleashes an unrelenting stream of subtle and severe brutality, jealousy, and cruelty.
