A virtual image, produced by merging two different cultures, each one has its own reference. In a rather shocking approach, the film presents an anti-stereotyping statement as it dramatically portraits opposing styles reflecting contradicting beliefs.
The only non-visual statement is the title of the film, which refers to a type of mansion notorious for indulgence and fun, but the harsh visuals alongside the silence illustrate the contradiction.
