To his most loyal henchman he gives the task of guarding his woman, who is headstrong and impulsive, and often gets into trouble. Before long, she falls in love with the henchman, and the star-crossed lovers decide to leave town. "This very physical film comes closer to a joyful, wild and dizzying engagement with fleeting life, which includes moments of tenderness and various moods of love." (The Hollywood Reporter) A Filipino-German "punk noir opera" by enfant terrible musician Khavn de la Cruz, with cinematography by the legendary Christopher Doyle and score by Brezel Göring (Stereo Total).
