Geschichte
Anja attempts suicide by jumping off a bridge but Henry mistakenly offers her a ride home instead of helping her. Believing Anja to be a prostitute, he invites her into his apartment where she pretends to be one to secure shelter. Anja refuses to explain why she tried to take her own life. They engage in peculiar games and sexual acts, with Anja repeatedly attempting to escape but Henry preventing her departure. Eventually, Anja reveals that someone named Lilly was raped and killed, leading Henry to believe Anja is Lilly's reincarnation or has assumed Lilly's identity. After more mind games and intimacy between them, Henry finally lets Anja leave. However, she returns soon after with a vengeance, setting off a chain of strange events that significantly alters both of their lives.
