The Right One
Two women, one painter and a warning: »Don’t model for him!«
Louis Creutz is a painter willing to transgress any boundary, because he simply refuses to acknowledge them. Anybody who comes into contact with him is exploited first and then dropped. Mostly, these people are women, his models. One of them is now homeless, a woman with golden curls and an eerie mask-like face. Meanwhile, another woman, young and full of life, throws all caution to the wind.
