Edit
Trivia This film caused an international sensation due to its real sex scenes. Talking about the scene in the bathroom, Heinze admitted that she really sucked Euler's penis, but director Korn suggests that all the sex was unsimulated. "I want to provoke, break boundaries. I want to achieve authenticity," she said. See more »
