Stiletto

A woman Nadja searches for her sister's murderer. This search goes through differing moments of reality or unreality that overlap within facets of a broken-up time sense. In this emulation of film noir the investigative structure does not create suspense; the dialectic murderer/victim does not exist. The crime is fabricated bit by bit like the staging of a spectacle and it is in the traditional tools of seduction (the spiked heels) that the weapons will be hidden. Ultimately the crime Nadja achieves makes her neither a triumphant heroine nor a victim.
