CRUSH
An ambitious thief wants to steal a precious diamond from a heavily guarded vault. On his way, he unexpectedly meets competition - a femme fatale who appeared for the same purpose. The rivalry for the diamond slowly turns into a mutual fascination that takes the couple into a world between dream and reality. Their gameplay balances between danger and sensual flirtation. The film is a mix of crime and love story, with a dose of humor.
