In a dark and desolate industrial city, a young man named Henry begins to experience the discomfort of unexpected parenthood. After a series of disturbing events, he finds himself trapped in a tense relationship with his girlfriend, Mary, who introduces him to a strange and aberrant baby, a deformed creature that seems a mix of fear and sadness. Henry's life descends into surreal chaos as the reality of his situation blends with hallucinations and strange visions that blur the line between the real and the imaginary.
As he tries to adapt to his new life, Henry is surrounded by peculiar characters, such as the enigmatic woman at the window who seems to sing dreamy songs and the unsettling neighbor who continuously watches him. The growing stress of everyday life, recurrent nightmares, and anguish over his offspring intensify, leading Henry to a state of desperation. Every moment becomes an exploration of the deepest fears and anxieties of being a father in a hostile world.
As the narrative unfolds, the director presents a technical and visual journey that evokes existential anguish and emotional isolation. Through the haunting atmosphere and raw symbolism, we are invited to reflect on the nature of life, responsibility, and the fear of the unknown. In this visceral journey, nothing is as it seems, and what could have been a simple story of parenthood transforms into a disturbing meditation on the strangeness of existence.
