A man rescues a woman from a suicide attempt in a gay nightclub. Walking the streets together, she propositions him: She'll pay him to visit her at her isolated house for four consecutive nights. There he will silently watch her. He's reluctant, but agrees. As the four nights progress, they become more intimate with each other, and a mutual fascination/revulsion develops. By the end of the four-day "contract", these two total strangers will have had a profound impact on each other.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Ultimately less reminiscent of similarly themed efforts like Last Tango in Paris than of an explicit health education training film.

rotten:
A ponderous but very, very explicit exploration of gender roles and fears that frequently seems like a parody of the genre.

rotten:
Plays like porn dubbed by bitter deconstructionist theoreticians.

Forget the Anatomy, this is just plain Hell.

rotten:
The movie strongly suggests that to be gay is to be a misogynist, that all men wish to do violence to women and that being female is the same as being miserable.
