Plot synopsis of "Shame"

Blanton (played by Michael Fassbender) is a well-dressed white-collar worker in New York . He loves adult movies, masturbates and looks for flowers.

However, his relationship with his sister Xixi (Carey Mulligan) is hot and cold. Xixi always left him messages on the phone, but he always avoided her. However, when Xixi moved in with him, he showed special concern.

Blanton went to listen to Xixi's singing with his boss. As a result, his boss was moved by her grace, but he was immersed in her singing and shed tears. In front of his sister, Brandon acted indifferently, but his boss pursued her boldly.

This made Brandon extremely ashamed. One day, after a video call with his family, his boss began to scold Brandon for filling his computer hard drive with adult movies, calling it a shame. The furious Brandon got angry at his sister, which made her very sad. Brandon once dated a black female secretary in his company, but found that what he really couldn't let go of was not his sex addiction, but the brother-sister relationship that he missed in his heart... Michael Fassbender won the best actor at the 68th Venice Film Festival for this film.
