An intimate and claustrophobic film debut by Paddy Breathnach, AISLA explores without restraint the outer limits of infatuation and obsession. Miles, a young married Dubliner, lives with his wife in a flat in an old Georgian house. While investigating a power failure in their building one evening, Miles discovers the body of the landlord, electrocuted in his bathtub. He gradually develops a morbid attraction to the old man's apartment, which lies empty for months. When a beautiful young woman moves in, Miles' every attempt to meet her is thwarted. One morning he accidentally picks up one of her letters, and decides to open it, hoping that it will provide some escape from the gray, unchanging world in which he has become trapped. He intercepts more of her mail. He even pays some of her bills. In a mounting atmosphere of claustrophobia, Miles becomes ever more deeply enmeshed in a secret obsession which threatens to destroy his work, his marriage and his life.
