Grand Jete

Former ballet dancer whose life has been defined by discipline and perfection. She endures chronic pain and relies on painkillers to keep teaching, maintaining emotional distance from others. Her world collapses as she reconnects with Mario, exposing a fixation on his body and a hunger for connection she has long denied. Her control over herself and her environment wanes as the taboo relationship develops.

Young man shaped by physicality and body modification, obsessed with sculpting his physique. He exists as a counterpoint to Nadja’s disciplined body, living through transformation and surface aesthetics. He welcomes Nadja’s attention and becomes entangled with her in a relationship that is sexual and unsettling, driven by mutual fixation on the body's form. Their dynamic hints at deeper power dynamics and dependence.

Mother who raised Mario; distant, judgmental, quietly uneasy. She is part of Nadja's return and embodies a restrained, practical stance that contrasts with Nadja’s craving for connection. Her presence adds familial tension and judgment, shaping the emotional climate of the reunion.
