EAVESDROPPING THE LUST OF OTHERS, FINDING YOUR OWN PLEASURE
17-year-old Vera earns a little pocket money on top of sport and school: she steals the keys to an empty apartment from her mother, who works as a real estate agent, and rents it out to other teenagers for one or two undisturbed hours. She secretly stands behind the apartment door and eavesdrops on the couples having sex. Vera listens and watches closely. She often sits there absorbed and concentrated with her headphones; later her open, completely unashamed looks become more important. The film watches her closely and patiently as she searches for and classifies her own desires, at the same time seeing through the lies and truths of the adults and finally taking the initiative herself.
