Against Nature

Synopsis

Against Nature tells the story of a dangerously decandent aristocrat and his unlikely 'friendship' with a tramp. Inspired by the fin de siecle novel, A Rebours by Joris-Karl Huysmans, Against Nature is an intelligent, thought-provoking film about the dangers of luxury and excess, and the thin line that seperates kindness from cruelty.
