Description:
In an intricate dance of power and manipulation, the movie follows the alliance between a cunning carnival man and a formidable female psychologist. Gifted in weaving narratives that can bend people to his will, the carnival man finds himself matched by the intelligent and perceptive psychologist who is equally skilled in unraveling human intentions. Together, they form an unlikely partnership with their shared talent for control. As the plot unfolds, their relationship is tested through a series of events that challenge their moral compasses and force them to confront the darker sides of themselves. The film masterfully explores themes such as deception, manipulation, and the blurry line between power and vulnerability, all set against the backdrop of an enchanting yet seedy carnival world.
