Summary
A shy, withdrawn young Belgian manicurist living in London with her sister becomes increasingly unhinged when left alone in the family's apartment. As her revulsion toward men and sexuality festers into full psychological collapse, hallucinations, paranoia, and violence overtake her isolated world. Roman Polanski's first English-language film is a slow-burn descent into a fracturing mind.
