Paraphiliac is a hypnotic, psychedelic film about Martin, a poet, drunk and fantasist lost in a life of depression. Martin feels trapped and alone and escapes his situation by immersing himself in music and imaginations, fantasising about a life with the girl from the laundrette. The lines between reality and fantasy start to become blurred, he adopts a new identity, Gripper, and attempts to conquer the girl of his dreams with extreme and disturbing consequences.
