## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Here's a film that asks: "But what if trauma, *but sexy*?" Years after the war, a concentration camp survivor reconnects with the former Nazi officer who abused her, and they resume their relationship. It probably seemed deep at the time.

**Mood tags**: dread, sexy, slow-burn
