Monella (Sira Stampe) has been suffering from depressions ever since
the death of her mother, and she has made several suicide attempts. Nina
(Laura Bach) is a wannabe actress who seems to be unable to ever succeed
at an audition - but she has found some joy in life moonlighting as a
prostitute. One night she's raped though, and Monella pretty much saves
her from the hands of her rapists. The two very different woman become
friends and even lesbian lovers rather quickly. Nina is married though,
to Johnny (Tao Hildebrand), a small-fry drugrunner who has taken so much
of his own cocaine his nose is constantly bleeding, and who has a drinking
habit and the occasional violent outbreaks. But he's deeply and honestly
in love with Nina, and he doesn't know about her being a whore. Nina has
long figured Johnny's a no-good loser of course, but she also knows he has
a load of money hidden away somewhere in a safety deposit box, and he
wears the key to it around his neck ... so how to get it? Well, why not
create a hostage scenario with Nina being the hostage and Monella being
the one with the gun, to see if his love is strong enough for Johnny to
give up his money for his love. The plan gets somewhat out of hand when
Johnny is accidenlty killed during the whole charade. But when Monella and
Nina try to take off with the money nevertheless but cross paths with one
of Johnny's friends, things only get worse ... A rather unique
film as it combines pulp mainstays with triplike imagery and fantasy as
well as arthouse elements in a weird narrative told at a deliberately
relaxed pace that at times seems almost lyrical - which comes across as
weirdly appropriate, too. Now add to that some well-placed shock scenes, a
very competent cast and a welcome refusal to play by genre rules, and
you've got yourself a rather fascinating film. Recommended.
