Film Synopsis
Ecstasy Forbidden is an allegory of love in our time - told in movement - unfolding in virtual space - suspended in time - existing in paradox. In it, two lovers, held back by powerful machines, must struggle to reach each other. It's unclear whether the machines are remnants of an ancient system or makings of a future one. But they appear to be the extensions of a totalitarian will - an unseen master who forbids all sensuality - who ensures that virtual simulation is the only reality.
