As Carmen, a lively Spanish woman on the verge of marriage, embraces her final night of freedom during a lavish hen party at a trendy French restaurant in London, she encounters an intriguing tradition that allows her to steal a kiss from an unknown man. This brief act of spontaneity ignites an unexpected connection with Kit, a charming individual whose kiss awakens a passion that transcends their initial intentions. As the attraction between them deepens, a complex love triangle develops, putting Carmen at odds with her unsuspecting fiancé, Barnaby.

What begins as yet another typical urban romantic tale takes a disturbing twist as the plot unfolds, revealing a sinister scheme devised by Barnaby. Unbeknownst to Carmen, she is unwittingly cast in what turns out to be an “emotional snuff film,” a twisted project crafted to manipulate her feelings for the whims of a camera. Kit, unaware of the true purpose behind his involvement, is merely a pawn in Barnaby’s game, pretending to be Carmen’s affectionate fiancé in a deceptive plot that entangles them in a marriage of convenience and shocking truths.

As secrets begin to surface, Carmen grapples with the disheartening realization that her entire experience has been a carefully orchestrated performance for entertainment’s sake. Burdened by a sense of guilt, Kit reveals to Carmen that his attraction was not entirely genuine; he has been hired by an enigmatic figure named “Ford” to allure her as part of this manipulation. This revelation shatters the foundation of their budding relationship, leaving them both heartbroken and bewildered.

In an unexpected turn of events, Barnaby re-emerges, his motives laid bare as he delights in the emotional turmoil he has caused. With a smug expression, he reveals the entirety of his scheming to the devastated pair, mocking them before he departs, leaving Carmen and Kit to deal with the remnants of their lives in chaos.

As the film prepares for its premiere, Barnaby appears to have gained a second chance with the intriguing Carmen. To seize the publicity surrounding his imminent accolade from the film industry, he stages a media spectacle that seemingly concludes with Kit’s well-deserved revenge. However, Carmen takes advantage of this distraction to unleash her own brutal retribution against her deceitful husband, skillfully crafting evidence that implicates his business partners in a murder plot. The tragedy that ensues captures public attention, and as the trial of the unsuspecting producers looms, the film’s opening weekend emerges as a major success at the box office, with Carmen and Kit making a bold entrance, hand in hand, amidst the ensuing commotion.
