Synopsis
Gambir is a fashionable sculptor who specializes in figures of pregnant women, but he's been impotent ever since his wife aborted their child before their wedding. Patronized by his mother, he finds himself haunted by plaintive cries for help, seemingly from a young boy. Behind the forbidden doors of a secretive members' club called Herosase, he discovers a selection of closed-circuit tv channels, each a window on a horrifying reality; one channel shows a house in which a young boy suffers hideous abuse at the hands of his parents. Gambir is determined to find the house and save the boy but all is not as it seems.
