What happens in Wetlands from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Helen is an 18-year-old with a rare pattern of mysophilia, using vegetables for masturbation and arguing that body hygiene is overrated in society. She pushes boundaries through provocative statements and actions that others would hardly dare to consider, and she pursues sexual exploration, including a visit to a brothel to experience being with another woman. This fearless, taboo-challenging streak sets the tone for a life marked by seeking connection in unconventional ways.
