Film Synopsis

In a society where kissing is punishable by death and currency takes the form of slaps on the face, Angine is an unhappy woman browsing a department store. There she becomes fascinated by a salesgirl and, despite the society's severe restrictions, the two begin to grow close. Their developing intimacy draws the suspicion of a colleague, placing them both in jeopardy in a world of absurdly enforced social codes.
