Musician Oliver Sim is the main guest of a talk-show that soon slides into a surreal journey of love, shame, and blood.

A sexual reverie unfolds over the course of one ethereal night. Characters wander through an erotic maze of love and lust, blurring the lines between wet dream and lucid nightmare as a macabre, erotic stage performance sends a ripple of lustful desires through its audience and performers.

A man is dreaming of a city. Unless the city is dreaming of him.

Dead city. Foggy night. A saxophone is playing. Lust is lurking.

In a strange villa, six young people are getting tanned. They are bored and get burnt, lying under the summer sun. They are children of the night, children of dreams. Coming from everywhere and nowhere, they are here, united like a tribe.

A young man, Jahid, runs away in the night from a dangerous biker and takes refuge in a strangely quiet museum. There he meets unusual characters and faces extraordinary events. Throughout this initiatory journey, Jahid confronts the improbable and goes through the exploration of beauty, political awareness as well as the surrounding danger.

In 1967, experimental filmmaker Jorgen Leth created a striking short film, The Perfect Human, starring a man and women sitting in a box while a narrator poses questions about their relationship and humanity. Years later, Danish director Lars von Trier made a deal with Leth to remake his film five times, each under a different set of circumstances and with von Trier's strictly prescribed rules. As Leth completes each challenge, von Trier creates increasingly further elaborate stipulations.
