A transgressive, deeply unsettling exploration of necrophilia and relationship dysfunction that uses extreme content to probe taboo desires and human connection.

A necrophilic street sweeper who cleans up after grisly accidents brings home a corpse for him and his girlfriend to enjoy sexually, but is dismayed to see that she prefers the corpse over him.
