Fascination

PlotIn early 20th century France, a thief named Marc, seeking refuge after a heist gone wrong, breaks into an isolated chateau. The mansion is eerily quiet, inhabited only by two enigmatic women, Elisabeth and Eva, who exhibit a peculiar charm and seductiveness. Seemingly alone, the women welcome and shelter him but their mysterious behavior raises Marc's suspicions. Intrigued and somewhat entranced, he soon finds himself entangled in a web of fear and fascination, as supernatural hints lurk beneath the surface.
As Marc unravels the chateau's secrets, he discovers that Elisabeth and Eva are more than they seem. Their suave manipulation and strange rituals suggest a sinister connection to bloodlust. With tension escalating, the women reveal their true motives under the guise of nightly masquerades and eerie ceremonies. The boundaries between desire and dread blur as Marc's grip on reality falters, building to a chilling climax.
