Plot

Family and friends gather in a decadent house to party. Despite their delusive distinction a raw passion for sex and violence comes to light.

The film sparked controversy and was halted by the Soviet film authorities by cutting state subsidy for the film's budget during the production process, so it took time to find money and complete the film. It was nominated for the Golden Bear at the 37th Berlin International Film Festival in 1987.^[1]
