action
Borderliner Nancy was abused as a child, suffocated in a feeble marriage with the emotional icicle Albert, and cut her arms and legs to at least feel something through the pain. One day Nancy sets off to Baltimore without saying goodbye to be murdered by the perverted Louis, while her husband at home refuses to admit that he has been abandoned. Louis of all people falls in love with Nancy, but for whom love means pain. Nevertheless, Louis finally fulfills Nancy's greatest wish and visits her husband Albert, to whom he tells this story during the course of the film.
The film ends with Albert watching videos from the news, recorded years after Nancy's death, of Nancy's death and Louis serving a life sentence for the murder of Nancy. Albert has started to scratch himself and is now visiting a psychologist himself because of his feelings of guilt.
Reviews
Todd McCarthy wrote on January 23, 2008 in the online edition of Variety magazine that the film was a work of "morbid psychological sadomasochism " . It seems more like a European film than an independent film from the USA. Its commercial prospects are - at least in the United States - "less than zero" .
