A respected priest volunteers for an experimental procedure that may lead to a cure for a deadly virus. He gets infected and dies, but a blood transfusion of unknown origin brings him back to life. Now, he’s torn between faith and bloodlust, and has a newfound desire for the wife of a childhood friend.

This film feels like a fever dream of forbidden desires and spiritual torment. It's a deeply unsettling, yet strangely alluring, exploration of human frailty and monstrous appetites, steeped in a rich, dark sensuality. The experience is both viscerally disturbing and intellectually provocative, leaving a lingering, uneasy impression.
