Jack & Jillian: Public & Private

Jillian is a former actress from the United States, and Jack is a Dutch director/filmmaker who hasn’t made a film in years. In an attempt To help Jack overcome his artistic impasse, the couple decides to go on a cultural trip and visit the magnificent monuments and grand museums of the world, starting in Europe, naturally.

There is only one catch Jillian, who hasn’t entirely been herself since her last motion picture, suffers from ‘Stendhal Syndrome,’ which causes her to lose control of her bodily functions. Overtaken by such overwhelming beauty, she cannot refrain from relieving herself on the spot. Jillian refers to her condition as ‘Pissing Art,’ which is in her own words: ‘the most sublime, aesthetic experience imaginable.’ 

In her fugue state, Jillian is free to explore her inner world. As she is captivated by the illusion of freedom, safeguarded under Jack's watchful eye, Jillian knows she has nothing to fear.
