Experiencing Interruptions?

Satisfied

A Surreal L’ Amour Fou explores the realms of possession, determination and satisfaction.

In a shattered reality where obsession and identity collide, a man's pursuit of ultimate satisfaction blurs the line between devotion and possession.

Satisfied is a visceral exploration of 'L’Amour Fou'—mad love—set within a fragmented reality. It follows descent into a psychological labyrinth where the boundaries between the self and the object of desire dissolve. Through high-contrast visuals and a non-linear narrative, the film challenges the viewer to define where satisfaction ends and possession begins
