Storia
Theresa, a dedicated teacher of deaf children by day, leads a double life at night. She frequented bars and clubs searching for abusive men to engage in progressively violent sexual encounters. Her nights were filled with reckless behavior, starting with casual sex but escalating to drug use. This dangerous lifestyle was a stark contrast to her committed profession during the day.
