Warning: this feature discusses issues of sexual assault which may prove triggering for some.

Imagine this: you wake up in a strange room where you are told by a man you have met once before that he has been obsessed with you for years and that you have 365 days to fall in love with him. During that year he manhandles you, grabbing your body as he pleases, warns you not to provoke him and tells you how to behave.

Does that sound like the making of a romantic movie? Or a nightmare? 365 Days (or 365 DNI), on Netflix, suggests it’s the former. And what’s more worrying is that the Polish film looks to be getting a sequel after appearing to be confirmed by its lead actor – Michele Morrone – after becoming one of the streaming site’s most-watched recent films.

The news comes despite a petition on Change.org calling for the film to be removed from the streaming site. “These kinds of movies not only completely disregard all the progress women have made, in being seen as more than our bodies, but it also portrays a terrifying example for young men and women, especially teens,” the petition reads.
