This is the story of a family forsaken by God: the vilest and most corrupt family there can ever be. To cleanse it, one of the daughters decides to turn kamikaze by sending everyone to death, “to hell,” including herself. She prepares her attack while confiding into a cabaret singer who reminds her that “it's never too late” to change her mind. Is the total annihilation of everyone the ultimate and only solution to put an end to this eternal dance with the devil? Yes. No. Maybe...
