The reference to 99 moons relates to the number of lunar cycles that the film encompasses. We first meet Bigma as she drives her car to the fifth floor of a parking garage, where she is attacked by a man in a face mask. But no, it is not an assault, it is play acting. Such is part of her life. The rest of her life is as a researcher, who is using monitoring wildlife as a predictor of earthquakes and tsunamis. In what seems to be heavy competition, she gets a grant. But don't expect much more about earthquakes, unless it is the bed shaking from amorous activities. And yes, there is an abundance of skin and some fairly amorous couplings. She is attracted to Frank. She is 28 and he is 33, and what he does is rather obscure. He has plenty of tattoos, and seems to be working in a nightclub at times and also as a waiter. But there is an attraction between both of them, which at times seems toxic. Near the end there is a magical running through a snow covered forest, which is really beautifully done. Bigma is still doing her research, and Frank has married and has a child, and they meet in the forest.
