During a massage at a luxurious spa, a woman steals her masseur's wedding ring off his oily finger, sending the two on a slippery chase through the spa's steamy, fleshy depths. The dialogue-free 3D animated film unfolds as a sensory experience of touch, seduction, and playful desire.

The scouts
Dialogue-free CGI ASMR-spa seduction chase. Six minutes of glistening French animation students chasing a wedding ring through steam — exactly the kind of horny formalism that should exist.
Five-director graduation film of dialogue-free 3D sensuality — ASMR sound design and glistening, voluptuous characters in a spa labyrinth. The Gobelins-school tradition pushed into genuine sensory territory.
Dialogue-free CGI relying on ASMR-quality sound design where every touch and stroke amplifies — that's a hyper-tactile sensory commitment, and the 6-minute runtime keeps the seduction game from overstaying. The glistening-character texture is the whole point.
Reviews
Wet is masterfully crafted, both visually and auditorily, with painstaking attention to detail, and the final result is an actual pleasure. Every touch, stroke, and moan is amped up to the max, giving the sound effects an ASMR quality that tickles its way under your skin.
An absolute delight of a film and the filmmakers ones to admire and watch out for.
