The story

In a not-too-distant future where civilizational norms and social rules have lost their force, a group of anarchic artists exhibits provocative works in a loft. Raoul and Raphaela, a young couple who consider themselves part of the social elite, slip into a secluded corner to have sex. Their disregard for the space and its occupants makes them a blatant challenge to the artists. Stone, a group member badly wounded in a gang war, has secretly watched them, and the artists soon decide to make an example of the couple. The situation escalates as they begin tormenting the intruders.

Full plot (contains spoilers)

The story is set in a not-too-distant, futuristic world in which all civilizational norms and social rules have long since lost their force. A group of anarchic artists are exhibiting their provocative works in a loft. Visitors who come to inspect them are met with sheer horror—including the couple Raoul and Raphaela, who consider themselves part of the social elite. The two young people want to “get it on” in a secluded corner of the loft, showing no regard for the fact that the penthouse apartment was not designed for the sexual games of egocentric members of the nouveau riche. Their arrogance makes the elegant, snobbish yuppie couple a blatant challenge to the artists exhibiting there, who are quick to make an example of them after “Stone,” a member of the group who was badly wounded in a gang war, secretly watched them. The situation quickly escalates, and the anarchist artists begin tormenting the sex-hungry intruders as they please. “Stone’s” sadistic buddy, who calls himself “Furio,” lives up to his name, directing his unbridled rage and delight in humiliation especially at Raphaela. Raoul is beaten up and locked in the bathroom, where he has to listen as the lunatics torture his girlfriend. While Stone is dying, two more guests arrive and join in the loft’s vicious goings-on. But soon the moment comes when Raoul and Raphaela turn the tables, and the hunted and tormented become frenzied avengers. With brutal force, they take out the criminals holding them captive, one by one…
