蔚蓝晴空，日正当中，中年男子尼尔与家人在墨西哥的度假胜地，享受奢华的悠閒假期。白天在泳池边小酌，晚餐与乐手暗送秋波，一切都十分惬意，直到手机铃声划破空气。电话那头母亲病况危急，大家只好收拾行李，搭上下一班回国的飞机，不料尼尔在登机口找不到护照，只能与家人分道扬镳。走出机 场，尼尔搭上计程车，开往的却不是回饭店的方向，而是市区的破烂旅社⋯⋯。                                    
                               继夺下威尼斯影展评审团大奖的《美丽新秩序》后，导演米歇尔法兰科再度以家乡贫富悬殊的纷乱治安为衬底，带来看似轻鬆写意却暗潮汹涌的家庭剧，二度进军威尼斯影展正式竞赛。提姆罗斯冷淡疏离，充满上流馀裕；夏绿蒂甘斯柏躁动不安，不时紧绷焦虑，情绪来往的强烈对比，勾起观者更多好奇。情节曲折，线索散落，主角的真实动机且待拼凑。潮退潮起，日升日落，生命的转折路口，一瞬之间就大有不同。

A Medieval Knight resurrects to fulfill his vow and bestow a blood-thirst vengeance upon the kindred spirits of those who betrayed him long ago. In the course of one night, identities will be revealed, destinies met, and a poetic justice of the macabre maniacally served. Here lies a tale of passion, loyalty, deceit, betrayal...and revenge. They were Warriors. They were Crusaders. Under the leadership of the righteous GREGOIRE, this band of brothers in the Holy Order of the Knights Templar selflessly fought back-to-back, defending GOD and the "True Cross." Until one dark night of utter betrayal... Glorious was their victory that night, gold their find. The spoils were to be taken to their Grandmaster for use in furthering their "Cause." Yet greed had infected one of their number - RENAULT - and under the influence of the demon of lust, he embraced and fiendishly persuaded others to help him carry out his nefarious plan of betrayal. Among those whose hearts he blackened was the already resentful MENAS, envious of his brother MELKON, the man famed as being both the greatest swordsman in all of Europe and the right hand of Gregoire. The following morning Renault's heinous plot went into effect and Gregoire, Melkon and their beloved steward KOKO were ambushed and executed for purposes of greed. But as he lay dying, Gregoire vowed his revenge. Ten lifetimes of excess Renault and his murdering compatriots would enjoy. And then he would return to deliver their souls to Hell for all of eternity. Ten lifetimes of excess... The centuries pass and after 700 years, the allotted time of the evildoers nears culmination. One dark, stormy night, the Crusader, upon his steed, resurrects to execute his pledge of vengeance upon the now kindred spirits of those who victimized him so very long ago. The stage is set for retribution as an eclectic group assembles at a secluded manor home under the guise of a promised "fantasy weekend" to fulfill personal desires. JAKE, the "events coordinator" will have his hands full playing host to his young guests; CELINE, the alluring and promiscuous Eastern-European, ASHLEY, the contemptuous yet beautiful socialite, AMY, the innocent and meek girl-next-door, HURCOS, the predatory Middle-Eastern playboy, and JAPONIKO, the uninvited and mysterious Asian minimalist. SHAUNA, the abrasive Irish cook, and her cohort in crime BENOIT, the bone-idle English caretaker, along with the enigmatic PRIEST and the benevolent SHOPKEEPER, round out this unusual and extremely colorful cast of characters. Jake assigns the position of assistant recreational coordinator to Amy, and as she reads from an obscure storybook, the tale of Gregoire and his righteous band of Templar Knights animates, and the story of betrayal is reenacted for the guests. Blood will flow excessively as the cursed and unsuspecting kindred spirits meet their imminent destinies one-by-one during the Crusader's maniacal reprisal.
