Synopsis

Chas is a mafia performer, a hit-man who tortures his victims with artistic originality. When he runs into difficulties with his capo, he is forced to go into hiding and decides to take refuge in the basement of an old building in the outskirts of London, but before he tints his hair red... with paint! The landlord is an ex-rock star called Turner (played by the never “former” rock star Mick Jagger). He lives with two women with whom he forms an unforgettable threesome, and spends his days consuming magic mushrooms and improvising on his guitar. At first Chas’ misoginy and Turner’s ambiguity collide, but gradually, in a voyage of mutual exploration, they realize that they are both performers, and that it is a thin line which separates them, each one at one side of the mirror.
