Nisha (Inaya Zarakhel) has come from Pakistan to the Netherlands to work as an exotic dancer. She’s close to gender-affirming surgery and everyone around her remains confused as to how they should react to her. She also has demonic visions and worries that by having this surgery that she will unleash something horrible on the world.

Some of the men that she meets treat her like a fetish. Others, at a party where she and Eva (Charlie Chan Dagelet) dress like police, are enraged that she has a penis still. She’s abused by them in a horrifying moment that unleashes the monster inside of her, an expected moment but still one that is well shot and intense.

Directed by David-Jan Bronsgeest and David Kleijwegt and written by Martin Koolhoven and Tim Koomen, this has incredible cinematography by Jeroen Kiers and a color palette that makes it look way more expensive than its budget. The ending is rushed and when you think too hard about the plot, things like the men’s party happening in what seems like a slaughterhouse feels weird, but. this is a first film for these creatives. Here’s hoping that the future is even better.
