Description:
This visually stunning film is set in a uniquely shaped mansion during World War I, echoing the themes of George Bernard Shaw's anti-war play, *Heartbreak House*. A gathering of family and friends enjoys dancing, drinking, and lively conversation. Their discussions are filled with sophisticated literary references, yet their underlying concerns are basic: sex and violence. The peaceful atmosphere of their vacation is disrupted by unsettling images – including footage of suffering children in Africa, scenes of George Bernard Shaw's life, and a corpse briefly revived only to deliver a judgmental lecture to women. The film's music uses anachronistic pieces to underscore its unsettling message.
