In this offbeat thriller, Halley Fischer is a schoolteacher at an elementary school in Winnipeg where children have been disappearing under mysterious circumstances. Francis is a single father and classical pianist who supplements his income playing in cocktail lounges. Francis and Halley meet when his daughter is enrolled in her class, and Halley finds herself strongly attracted to the musician, even after learning of his unusual sexual tastes. But the more Halley finds out about Francis, the more she begins to wonder about both him and his highly domineering mother.

Many thanks to Platty for sending me a copy of this film.
It worked fine tonight March 9, 2023. That was quite the movie. I enjoyed it. I like eroticism, and this movie had a mix of that with a definite theme of dramatic events, and was very powerful. I didn’t do anything special to play it.
This was a good find! Good characters, good script, good direction. Thanks!
