Nova (Sigrid ten Napel) is an aspiring artist who can’t seem to get her career off the ground. She feels the reason is her lack of life experience. While it may seem like there is no quick fix for a problem like this, the dark fetish app Sano offers just that. With a few taps, users can gain traumatic experiences, including torture. Nova connects with her darkest side, but then bites off more than she can chew in this Dutch body horror film.
