A darkly absurdist fantasy about forbidden desire and surveillance, where a queer romance blooms in a dystopian society that punishes intimacy with death.

In a society where kissing is punishable by death, and people pay for things by receiving slaps to the face, Angine, an unhappy woman, shops compulsively in a department store. There, she becomes fascinated by a playful salesgirl. Despite the prohibition of kissing, the two become close, raising the suspicions of a jealous colleague.
