A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.
Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
A disturbed Frenchman who obsessively prefers duplicates or mutations over the original, holds a transsexual prostitute Tiresia captive in his dreary home. She in turn responds to his passive dominance and control with passivity and makes no attempt to leave apart from shrieking early on. The man is spellbound at times by her and gets involuntary tremors while watching her nude, especially when her cock is on show. But he refuses to touch her for the longest while.
Eventually reality hits, as Tiresia without her hormones begins to look more and more male and the man can’t bear to have someone like that around him anymore. The cracked rear windshield of his car suggests he’s done this before and he dumps the repulsive being on a country road, but not before depriving it of something. (In another shot of the car, there doesn’t appear to be a crack, which could be a goof or just another annoying attempt at adding to the general confusion within the film)
Tiresia is then rescued by a quiet, perhaps mute teenager, and begins living in her care as a male. But the trauma endured snaps something, and he now finds himself with clairvoyant powers which brings local fame.
Random (Spoilers continue):
Based on the Greek myth of Tiresias who through a curse was transformed into a woman with prophetic powers when he disturbed a couple of mating snakes. A painting of a snake appears multiple times in the room where Tiresia is held captive, marking the beginning of her transformation back to male.
The actor playing Tiresia is actually a biological woman.
The same character of Tiresia is played by two different actors. In the spirit of keeping things opposite (in the Greek myth it’s m2f, here it’s transf2m), maybe the fact that the priest and the disturbed man are played by one actor – Laurent Lucas – suggests they are indeed two different characters. And almost to prevent us confirming this, we are also deprived of seeing the priest’s immediate reactions to Tiresia narrating her experience as a prostitute blinded by her captor, though he is quite cool when meeting her for the first time.
why why just why she has to look so much identical to me😠when i put on a wig and dress as myself in female clothes.
even our bodies look identical expect im 20 and still pre-hrt & don’t have breast,
i have no friends, no support still depended on the family trying to complete my degree by living as guy , i can’t express myself & always afraid of people finding out my identify cuz if they do it’ll be end of my education my parents will stop paying for my education, i always fight the urge to not harm myself and try to be optimistic that I’ll finally be able to start living my life by being myself once i complete my degree & become independent but then i had to watch this movie, where the girl who looks like me does sex work for money ( i might have to do it if nothing goes right with me & truly till now nothing has ever gone right with me) is forced live with mf locked up & not being able to taker her meds.
Idk why Im afraid thinking that it might happen to me as well.
I swear if any 1 tries to do this stuf with me I’ll chop them into pieces and cook their meat & feed it to their family.
faggot chaser guy,
one of those films that leaves the veiwer with more questions than answers!! 7/10
I liked the movie; I love films that tackle raw subjects like prostitution and transsexuality without today’s oversensitivity. I just felt really sorry about Tiresia’s tragic fate at the end. I’d give it a 7/10. That said, despite my earlier comment, I would like to see a modern remake of this title, preferably with a real trans, since we have plenty of those these days.
I knew within the first 15 minutes I wasn’t going to like this movie. But I persevered to see if it got better – it did not.
I found the entire story to be rather unbelievable and overly dramatic, probably due to me being a devout atheist. I’ll admit I’m not at all a fan of Laurent Lucas but I found the person / people playing the role of Tiresia to be equally unlikeable.
Probably just not a good genre for me to attempt to appreciate.
2/10 – solid pass
It was a very good movie. Unexpectable good
I wonder what happened, that scene where Anna’s hanging out with the boys …
loved it
I wonder if Laurent Lucas always looks like he wants to eat someone’s skin.
“repulsive being” is a great way to describe trannies.
i love Laurent Lucas so much
Look me in the eyes and listen up, you cross-eyed pot-bellied bald pyjama wearing fucknut. You are in dire need of help.
awaiting the censors approval – ironic on a shite like this
Brilliant film. Bizarre story. Laurent Lucas is at his super creepy best in this one. 5 stars.
Side note: After I saw this for the first time a few years ago I looked in to films with the actress Clara Choveaux (who plays Tiresia 1). I came across the short film “Roommate” {2017) which is very good so I checked out some of Rodrigo Lages other films (he is the director of “Roommate”). There is a movie called “Lacuna” (2021) directed by Rodrigo Lages that I am dying to see but I can’t find it anywhere. Please let me know where I would be able to find this movie if you know. Thanks.
your name should be in jail moron.
this got very hairy but dont be blinded by the story line
