STORY
There is a young couple. The wife has dual split personality. One part of her is a regular housewife. The other part of her is a sexual pervert who likes to have sex with monstrous beasts. However, she is totally unaware of her condition. Her personality switches from normal to the perverse side whenever foul language is used in a carefully modulated voice. When foul language is used in plain voice, her transformation is only half-baked.
Her husband is quite aware of her condition but he is also a pervert. He uses the perverse-side of his wife to fulfill his own perverse sexual desires using a demonic mask.
One day when she is in her normal person, she accidentally finds the demonic mask and is terrified to the point of fainting. The husband comes home and finds her unconscious with the mask by her side. He makes every effort to ensure she does not realize what had happened to her. Owing to her trauma, she does not remember any of it.
The husband is in a fix as to whether he can continue with his fantasies. There is a possibility of her being terrified even after her changeover to the perverse side as she has already seen it once and traumatized when she was normal. So he consults a psychotherapist. The therapist advises him that he can continue with his fantasies but not with the same mask. So the husband discards the mask and gets a new mask. And the fantasies continue.
The discarded mask is found by a rag-picker who carries it home. At home, he suddenly gets an idea. He wears the mask and shows up in front of his woman. The woman screams in horror. It is horrifying enough just to see the mask. How would she feel if she comes to know that a husband and wife had indulged in lovemaking using that very same mask?
DIRECTOR’S INTERPRETATION
The mask is just a metaphor – a symbol of not just perverse, but even normal sexual behavior of men and women. It just happened so that the mask has served dual purposes. One – as a symbol. Two – as an actual object of perverse sexual fantasies. Some people indulge in perversions quite prolifically – like the husband and the (perverse-side of ) wife in the film. However, as long as it is between the man and woman and in their bed, no harm done – as is evident from the psychotherapist’s advice. There are some people who newly discover such things – the rag-picker symbolizes all such normal people who want to experiment in bed when they get some exposure. The rag-picker’s woman symbolizes all such normal people who have aversion to such fantasies and perversions.
On a different note, this film is also a pediatric point of view to sex. Let’s say a child accidentally gets a chance to watch a consensual man and woman in bed. The man’s behavior in bed would make him seem like a monster. The child would actually expect the woman to be terrified and scream at the monstrous behavior of the man. Instead the woman embraces this seemingly monstrous behavior quite joyfully. The reaction of normal adults to this film I guess would be akin to the reaction of children to normal sex.
