198914 min6.6 / 10

A surreal, darkly tender short that finds strange intimacy and dark humor in the grotesque, blending body horror with an oddly affectionate monster-love narrative.

From the bowels of the kitchen sink, comes a dark and tender love… An original and full-blooded short film that combines humour with surrealism and leads the viewer towards the fantasy of horror.
