The daughter of a Sami reindeer castrator (plot point!) saves a Nazi pilot who crashes in Lapland. After the war he takes her to Helsinki, where she has sex to music from Swan Lake and gets whipped in decadent cabarets. Sexploitation at its maddest, enhanced by retina-melting decor and jaw-dropping party scenes, this is one of Guy Maddin's favourite films, and a cult classic in the making.
Before the special screening of Sensuela, Ghent-based horror and cult collective Kuru takes innocent visitors at the Nova café on an immersive journey to Lapland. As the daughter or son of shepherd Aslak, you get a free crash course in the traditional castration technique for unsuspecting reindeer. Nuts!
