A deeply transgressive, grotesque horror film centered on necrophilia and psychological unraveling, designed to shock and disturb rather than entertain.

A disturbed young embalmer digs the grave of his recently deceased girlfriend and brings her body to his family villa with help from his strange housekeeper. But his bouts of insanity are just beginning.
