Plot summary
Four disconnected segments make up the film. In the first, a woman dissects another woman. The second is narrated by a young man called Brother, who says he is obsessed with his sister, now pregnant by her husband, and watches the couple through a door as he masturbates out of sight. A third segment shows naked people writhing on a grass-covered plain, digging into earth that bleeds. The last segment follows a businessman of faith obsessed with masturbation and pornography and troubled by a nightmare in which a double of himself appears, and, elsewhere in the same town, a man who resembles Jesus, naked and bleeding, stands before a church and cries and begs to those inside.
