一个谋杀犯逍遥法外：一位衣冠楚楚的商人囚禁着几名受害者，把他们锁起来，不提供任何食物，并且记录下他们死在自己的排泄物中的过程；同时，在城市的另一端，一位女性在妓院工作。这两条故事线在电影中被一个共同的主题所联系起来：女人们的苦难是男人愉悦的基础。
        A murderer is at large: a well-dressed businessman who incarcerates his victims, chains and starves them, and documents their death amid their filth with instamatic snaps. Meanwhile, in another part of town, a woman joins a brothel. These two simple strands of plot come together within the film, and are united by a single theme: that women's suffering is basic to man's pleasure.
