Victor Frankenstein is a promising young doctor who, devastated by the death of his mother during childbirth, becomes obsessed with bringing the dead back to life. His experiments lead to the creation of a monster, which Frankenstein has put together with the remains of corpses. It's not long before Frankenstein regrets his actions.

This is a grand, sweeping gothic tragedy, drenched in a macabre romanticism. It feels both intimate and epic, exploring the anxieties of creation and the profound loneliness of existence. The mood is heavy with philosophical dread and a certain audacious, theatrical intensity.
