Seven tales of transformation poetically reimagine Ovid’s Metamorphoses and paint a picture of violence and catharsis, anchored in mythical landscapes.
The film’s stories range in tone from crimson surreal to the darkest of comedy, playfully shifting moods, genres, and seasons without losing sight of its overarching mythology. It follows a lone bounty hunter prowling across snow covered mountains, a famous actress out for revenge, statuary lovers peeping leaves, a distraught demigod waxing poetic, an entomologist meeting her match in a mantis, a vacuum salesman haunted by his motel room, and twin ferrymen guarding the underworld by demanding exact change.
