A surreal, sensual nightmare that traces desire and bodily horror across three stages of a woman's life, blending visceral imagery with psychological dread.

Ana is confronted with body and desire at three key moments of her life. As a young girl, she brings her dead grandpa back to life. In her puberty, she discovers the power of decay and sexuality. Finally, she wrestles with loss and loneliness when she returns to her parental home, now derelict.
