SYNOPSIS
In today’s Tunis, Nada is 25 years old. She is hard of hearing and communicates through a Smartphone app. She leads a lonely life and works as a web video content editor for a start-up.
But every weekend at night, Nada turns into a femme fatale: she dresses in black and walks the bars looking for men. She becomes confident and in control. Nada closes the trap on her prey by drugging them. In the men’s houses, she sexually abuses them and leaves them unconscious.
