Knife + Heart

A young man enjoys a night out dancing at a nightclub, only to be drawn towards a figure in a disturbing leather mask. His curiosity leads him to a secluded room where an unsettling confrontation occurs, ultimately ending in his brutal murder.

In the summer of 1979, Anne Parèze, a producer and director in the gay pornography industry, copes with the emotional aftermath of her girlfriend Loïs leaving her. The tension affects her work and she struggles to maintain her focus on her film project.

The tragic murder of Jean-Marie Duvernet, previously known as Karl, shakes the production team and prompts a police investigation. As a notable star in Anne's films, his death brings a sense of dread over the set.

Amidst the chaos, Anne desperately seeks a new lead actor and meets Nans, a heterosexual miner who surprisingly agrees to take on the role. This unexpected casting choice stirs curiosity and skepticism among the crew.

Determined to channel her grief into her work, Anne decides to name the film 'Anal Fury V', a bold move reflecting her turbulent emotions and the stark realities of her life following Karl's death. This title sets the tone for the film's direction.

The filming takes a darker turn when Thierry, another actor involved in the project, succumbs to a heroin overdose. Fear grips the studio, highlighting the perils faced by the cast and the overarching threat of violence.

In light of the tragic events, Anne decides to change the film's title to 'Homocidal'. She recruits four more actors to bolster the project, showcasing her resilience in the face of tragedy and her commitment to the film.

The film crew wraps up their shooting with a celebratory picnic in the woods, but their moment of joy quickly turns sour as a sudden storm disrupts the gathering. During this time, Anne is confronted by Loïs, leading to unresolved tensions.

While chaos unfolds during the picnic, actor Misia becomes lost in the wilderness, ultimately falling victim to the unseen killer. This loss adds to the growing body count that plagues the filmmaking process.

After facing multiple losses, Anne urgently seeks police intervention, but is met with skepticism and indifference regarding the threats they face. Frustration mounts as her pleas seem to fall on deaf ears in light of the ongoing murders.

An officer reluctantly provides Anne with a peculiar lead linking all the murder scenes: the presence of crow feathers. This intriguing clue propels her into a deeper investigation into the mysterious deaths plaguing her production.

During her investigation, Anne encounters a grieving woman who recounts her son Guy's suffering and tragic history entangled with violence stemming from his father's actions. This chilling tale hints at a connection to the ongoing murders.

As the pieces come together, Anne realizes that Guy, the grieving mother's son, is the very killer she's been searching for. This revelation complicates her feelings, linking her film’s narrative to his traumatic past.

Under the pressure of a stalled production and escalating tension on set, a violent confrontation leads to the death of actor Luis and an attempted murder on Anne. A desperate struggle unfolds, culminating tragically for both Anne and Loïs.

During the premiere of 'Homocidal', an unsettling encounter with Guy escalates into a frantic stand-off. Anne's intervention ultimately leads to chaos, resulting in Guy's demise and freeing her from the haunting legacy of violence surrounding her films.
