Pernat finds himself in a police interrogation, accused of a murder, and unable to recall any details of the crime, or even his own life. He's released back into a world of raving lunatics and deranged dentists, murderous doctors and scientists who believe the secret of human creation is inside the walls of a cast-iron oven.

VIBE

This film feels like a chilling, philosophical descent into a sterile, controlled future. It's a bleak exploration of what it means to be human when individuality is suppressed. Expect a thought-provoking, unsettling experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
