The Harem

One man. Five women. One private world for one night.

There is no attempt to pretend the basic fantasy is intellectually complicated. What becomes interesting is what happens once five very different personalities inhabit it.

Who competes? Who collaborates? Who takes control? Who watches? Who becomes unexpectedly close to whom?

Rather than treating the women as interchangeable bodies around one man, the film gives each of them a distinct presence inside the same fantasy.

The fantasy is simple. The human dynamics probably will not be.
