My Movie Collection

The film opens with two men talking in an apartment building. One of the characters is from another film by Gaspar Noe, "Carne". The camera pans out the window to a gay club called "The Rectum". The police have arrived and they are wheeling out one man on a stretcher, and another man is being arrested.

In the next scene, the same two men frantically searching in "The Rectum" for a man whose name is La Tenia. One of the men keeps asking the patrons of the club, but they will only ask him to perform sexual acts on them. The second man seems to be trying to stop the first man from what ever it is he's trying to do. Eventually, the first man finds who he believes is La Tenia. The man picks a fight with La Tenia and loses. La Tenia is about to rape him, but the second man smashes La Tenia's head in with a fire extinguisher.

Then, we see the two men in a car. The first man is driving the car, the second is in the back seat. They pull over and the first man goes into a bar to ask where The Rectum is, and someone tells him.

The scene changes again, and the two men in the car, but both in the back seat. There's an Asian man driving, and we learn they are in a taxi. The driver pulls over and gets out of the car, and the first man jumps in the driver's seat and drives away.

Next, we see the two men, whose names are revealed to be Marcus and Pierre, with two other men, and they are all walking down a street lined with prostitutes. They're looking for a man named Guillermo Nunez. One of the prostitutes points out another, named Concha, who is actually Nunez, a transvestite. They threaten Concha, and she reveals that La Tenia is in The Rectum. The other prostitutes then come to the aid of Concha and chase all four of the men away, and Marcus and Pierre get in a taxi and drive away.

The film then flashes back to Pierre and Marcus leaving a party. The walk outside and the police are wheeling a body out of a subway. Marcus identifies the woman as his girlfriend, Alex. She has been brutally beaten and is in a coma. A man approaches Marcus and asks him if he wants revenge, and Marcus says yes. The man tells Marcus a purse was found at the scene of the crime, which contained an identification for a man named Guilermo Nunez.

The film flashes back again, this time to a beautiful woman, Alex, exiting a building. She want to cross the street, but the traffic is too heavy. A prostitute recommends that she take the underground walkways because they are safer. She enters the walkway and sees La Tenia threatening Guillermo/Concha with a knife. La Tenia sees Alex, lets go of Guillermo/Concha, and grabs Alex. He rapes her, and then beats her brutally. The scene lasts for nine minutes, and is one continuous camera shot (most of the scenes are).

Another flash back - this time to a party. Alex, Marcus, and Pierre socialize with friends. Marcus is drunk, and sniffing cocaine. Alex gets mad at him and leaves.

Back further in time, Alex, Pierre, and Marcus take the subway to get to the party. It is revealed that Pierre was Alex's previous boyfriend, but Marcus "stole" her.

Flashing back again to a couple hours before, where it's revealed that Alex and Marcus had sex before the party. After they have sex, Marcus leaves to go to the store. While he is gone, Alex learns that she is pregnant.

In the final scene, Alex sits in a park reading a book while children play. She is completely unaware of her coming fate. The scene fades into flashing strobe lights and shows a final slide saying LE TEMPS DETRUIT TOUT (time destroys all things).
