Human Nature

In the Interest of Civilization… Conform.

A darkly comic philosophical fable about civilization versus nature that uses absurdist scenarios and a love triangle to interrogate what it means to be human.

Obsessive scientist Nathan and his lover, the naturalist Lila, discover Puff: a man born and raised in the wild. As Nathan trains the wild man in the civilized ways of the world, Lila fights to preserve the man’s natural state. In the power struggle that ensues, an unusual love triangle emerges.
