Frederick Clegg, a butterfly collector, kidnaps Miranda, a young art student he admires from afar, and imprisons her in the basement of his isolated house. He provides her with everything, except her freedom. According to Clegg, this is not a crime, but an act of love: Miranda now belongs to him.

But Miranda doesn't just seek a way to escape; she refuses to become a part of the collection. She questions, she argues, and she tries to teach Clegg a different way of looking at the world. Her struggle is against the system that reduces a person to an object to be owned.

Adapted from John Fowles' novel by Mark Healy and directed by Eyüp Emre Uçaray, "The Collector" explores what happens when possession is mistaken for love. As Clegg invites the audience to be his "confidants," only one question remains: Whose side is the one who remains silent?
