Storia
In the luxurious surroundings of an Italian hotel in Venice, a diverse group of individuals come together, each with their own secrets and agendas. Among them are a sex worker named Mimi (Sally Freeman) who is hiding from her pimp, and a hired killer named Jack (Simon Baker) who has been sent to eliminate her. Meanwhile, a film crew led by the eccentric director Michael (Michael Caine) arrives to shoot their latest project. As these worlds collide, it becomes apparent that something sinister is going on in this hotel - human meat is being served as a delicacy. Throughout their stay, the characters navigate their own webs of deceit and desire, culminating in a tense confrontation where everyone's true intentions are revealed.
