Where are the boundaries of our whims? Are we given the right to decide what is more important: human life or the pleasure experienced by the killer? David Aitken's hero, a maniac who adores women's ears, studies their physiological characteristics on his prostitute victims. This “younger brother” of “Perfumer” Patrick Suskind has a terribly wretched inner world, which only strengthens his vicious instincts. Through shocking scenes of violence, through the hero himself, who inspires both disgust and pity, the author seeks to express a deep thought: be afraid of your desires, for their name is death.
