An experiment on a simpleton turns him into a genius. When he discovers what has been done to him he struggles with whether or not what was done to him was right.

VIBE

This film feels like a quiet, existential exploration. It's a melancholic journey into the mind, questioning the cost of knowledge and the nature of self. A somber, introspective experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
