A visceral, deeply unsettling psychological descent into self-harm and bodily alienation, told with unflinching intimacy and existential dread.

After a disfiguring leg injury, a young woman develops an unsettling secret relationship with her own body in which pain is pleasure, mutilation is love and hungers of the flesh have a mind of their own.
