the story
stay with me. who knows if we’ll still be alive tomorrow?

ten people. ten scenes. ten hook-ups. one big city that never sleeps (alone).

ten seemingly unconnected people lost in a metropolis. rubbing elbows on the subway, walking by one another on the street, dancing beside each other at the same clubs.

ten people go looking for contact under the buzzing lights of a city at night. scene by scene, couples meet, talk, fuck, and talk, and then change partners, repeat. in the final scene the circle is closed. and somewhere, in the shadows of every scene, death is lurking.

the nameless characters of la ronde search for distraction / satisfaction through sex. and then look further.

audience advisory: … la ronde … contains representations of sexual violence.
