‘LAZZARO FELICE’ meets ‘THE WAYWARD CLOUD.’
An absurd four-chapter odyssey to humanity pulses with killing, sex, betrayal, and plastic surgery.
Synopsis
A beastly wild man lives a carefree life in the mystical forest. He lives in harmony with nature until one day a ferocious bear occupies his food resources. The hunger drives him to dare and kill the bear, which displeases nature and he is washed out of the forest by a torrent. In the world outside the forest, the wild man experiences lust and power, searching for the meaning of existence in human civilization but only to find himself gradually destroyed.
