We occasionally imagine situations where our actions and emotions are so dark that we scare ourselves to a point where we quickly want to snap out of it. 'Affect' takes all imaginable steps into this darkness, and then culminates in an even more unthinkable blow. A couple at their desolate summer house cooking lunch. The guy walks out to the woods to pee. And to masturbate. Dense beautiful woods, birds chirping. His phone on the kitchen counter receives a text message causing his girlfriend to react on heated impulse. She's familiar with his allergy to peanuts, but she knows nothing about the severity of a reaction. The film is a thrilling drama with a hint of dark comedy. The music is originally composed for the film.
