Synopsis:

A re-known filmmaker is working on his next feature. He becomes obsessed with the idea of 'monstrosity" as the central imagery around which the film will revolve and develop. He starts visiting museums to find the perfect painting that would illustrate this emotion. For that end, he hires an art historian and finds himself wrecked into the masterpieces of Francis Bacon, Le?on Spilliaert, Caravaggio, The?odore Chasseriau, Hans Bellmer and many others. As the "monster" starts to take shape into his mind, a "monstrous" red stain starts growing on his back...

A famous filmmaker works on his next film, which will focus on monstrosity. He is obsessed by the idea of finding a painting that will be central to the film and will crystallize all the power and beauty of monsters. But what he doesn't show to anyone, not even his wife, is the mark on his back that keeps getting bigger. This red mark worries him, upsets him, and seems to want to tell him something...

About artists who kill people.
