SYNOPSIS

In a world where even love has become a commodity, two shoplifters in love live on the edge — between resisting the system and destroying themselves. In a decaying city consumed by consumerism, Eva and Herman steal food and feelings, calling themselves anti-capitalists. Their passion is an act of survival, their love a transaction, their bodies a form of currency. But when Eva uncovers the truth Herman has been hiding — and the system they claim to oppose — she must make a choice: stay in a relationship built on transactional violence, or break the cycle, even if it means destroying everything, including herself. And what would you choose: to live as a product, or to become human?
