Elegant Beast
DramaCrime
A greedy, materialistic family attempts to cover-up the embezzlement committed by the son while keeping their other schemes active. They discover there are other, equally conniving players involved.
VIBE
A suffocating descent into the moral rot of a family consumed by avarice and deceit. The atmosphere is thick with cynical maneuvering and a tense, claustrophobic dread as schemes unravel. It's a sharp, unsparing look at human corruption, leaving a bitter, thought-provoking aftertaste.
