About the movie
Alice White is engaged to the detective Frank Webber. Feeling bored, she takes advantage of a fight between the two of them to join Crewe the painter. Crewe tries to abuse her, but to defend herself, she grabs a knife and stabs him. In great haste, Alice attempts to get rid of the evidence of her presence in the studio and runs away. Frank is put in charge of the investigation.

The screening of this film will be accompanied by a concert by Lebanese electronic artist Sary Moussa, aka Radiokvm, consisting of music composed especially for the film, using laptop computers and diverse electronic machines.
