Andrea’s cell phone has been chirping incessantly for weeks. A precarious request to search for women’s toys of pleasure co-mingles lustful desires juxtaposed in a patriarchal world. She completes her indulgent primping routine and is ready to board her plane. Her immoral cargo is discreetly packed when she is detained by US border agents at the gate.
Waiting for her toy drop on the other side of the world is the local patron who detours from the agreed delivery plan. The pressure builds on meeting Irena, a local cosmetic manager who is making regular midnight rendezvous from a high mountain village. On Andrea’s arrival, he insists they meet. Unsatisfied with the turn of events, Andrea senses things are amiss and laments over their first passionate encounters years earlier, retaliates to fill all her erotic needs by combatting norms.
The Patron’s confidant and beautiful business partner Nina undermines her patron, raising increasing havoc. She is a youthful entrepreneur in a patriarchal world also seeking pleasure, power and wants control over the toy cargo and partners with Andrea to get rid of Irena.
