Double rates for women… because a woman is always double-trouble!
A calm, calculating man takes a job as a hitman, believing he can treat murder like any other business transaction. When he’s assigned to kill a woman, his detached philosophy begins to unravel, revealing cracks in his icy facade. This minimalist crime drama builds slow-burning tension through style, mood, and a chilling portrait of moral decay.
