Heads

In a desolate future, humans have evolved into bodiless, pure heads. One head named Sam wants to join the next generation and become a pure brain. When she accidentally experiences an orgasm, however, Sam senses that something is missing. Her longing for physical sensations and intimate connection grows to unbearable levels. Her desperate desire for more triggers an explosive revolt. Despite the consequences, Sam courageously pursues the truth in a world where sex is only a distant memory.
