BOILING POINT

Juliana enters the room in a sharp business suit with a short skirt, barefoot in sparkly high-heel pumps, a silk scarf tied tightly around her throat like a choker. She sits at a desk, crossing her legs, playfully dangling her heels with confidence. The camera captures close-ups of her arches and feet, showcasing her poise and teasing charm from multiple angles.

Moments later, she glances at her coworker with a mischievous grin, pretending to strangle herself with the scarf, saying, “Wouldn’t you love to strangle me with this?” She laughs, removes the scarf, and sets it on the table. Unexpectedly, the coworker grabs the scarf and wraps it around her neck.

A brutal struggle ensues. Juliana’s eyes widen, her tongue extends as she gasps for air, her legs flailing wildly. She throws her legs onto the desk, one heel falling off, the other dangling from her toes. Close-ups highlight her kicking feet, soles, and arches. Her face, in intimate close-ups, shows bulging red eyes, tears streaming, and gagging sounds as she fights.

In a final, intense close-up, Juliana’s red eyes stare into the camera, tears rolling, tongue fully extended. She goes limp, but the coworker, sensing faint life, pulls the scarf tighter three times. Each tug draws a deeper gag, her eyes bulging wider. The final pull ends with a haunting sound, her eyes fixed, tears falling, legs still, toes pointed then resting.

The coworker ties the scarf tightly around Juliana’s neck, leaving her in the chair. The camera pans her face—eyes open, tongue out—and her feet on the desk in close-ups. The coworker adjusts her feet gently before leaving.
