When insecure teen Simi arrives at her aunt Claudia’s country house at Easter she’s hoping for help with her weight issues. What could be better than the bosom-of-family support from famous aunt Claudia, a best-selling author of books about nutrition and healthy diets. But something strange is sizzling on the emotional hotplate here. Cousin Filipp is being nasty, Claudia’s uptight, and her new hubby Stefan has wandering eyes and weird thoughts. This knockout feature debut by Hengl and his producer-wife Lola Basara turns the screws slowly and with great visual and tonal assurance until Simi and us can take no more... but take more we must before this twisting tale serves a final course you won’t soon forget.

Follows the horrific event that has captivated the public's attention for almost 50 years, as well as a more comprehensive narrative about Los Angeles, the American dream, and the situations in which justice might or not be effective.
