In a world where consumerism and moral decay seem to have taken control, two intertwined stories explore the breakdown of society and the connection to the most primal instincts. On one hand, we follow a young man from a wealthy family who feels trapped in oppressive social expectations. His life is a reflection of the superficiality and emptiness that surrounds him, where hedonism and the struggle for social status seem to be the norm. As his frustration grows, his desire for freedom and authenticity leads him to explore a darker side of his own nature.
On the other hand, a group of peasants lives in a state of misery and brutality in post-war Europe. Their existence is harsh and marked by hopelessness, but in their daily struggle for survival, they confront questions about human dignity and innate animality. The images of rural life are raw and vivid, highlighting the contrast with the privileged life of the protagonist.
As both narratives unfold, the characters find themselves in a moral abyss that blurs the line between the human and the bestial. The film raises profound questions about the nature of man, desire, violence, and the search for identity in an increasingly alien world. With a provocative aesthetic and impactful scenes, this film becomes a bold and disturbing reflection on the human condition and alienation in modern society.
