Set in the glamorous but decaying coastal villa of Amalfi, Love to Lay tells the story of Clara, a restless and ambitious aspiring architect, who is invited to stay at the opulent home of Nina, a world-renowned fashion photographer, to work on the restoration of her estate. Clara is immediately drawn into Nina’s magnetic, volatile world. Nina is enigmatic, cold, and utterly intoxicating, living a decadent, hedonistic lifestyle but harboring dark secrets beneath her confident exterior. As the two women grow closer, their relationship becomes a whirlwind of lust, obsession, and manipulation. Clara starts to question whether Nina’s interest in her is genuine love or if she's merely a pawn in Nina’s self-destructive games. As Clara becomes more entangled, she learns about Sylvia, Nina’s former lover, who mysteriously disappeared a year ago. Whispers from locals suggest Sylvia was driven to madness by Nina’s mind games. Clara starts to uncover hidden letters, eerie photographs, and haunting memories within the villa that point to something far darker than a simple breakup. As passion turns to paranoia, Clara must decide if Nina is her lover or her captor—and if Sylvia’s fate will soon become her own.
