Poster

Vilca is thrown into prison and loses part of his hearing. An injection of dark matter gangrenes him.

In his cell, a slit allows him to see his neighbour, Melnik, in an advanced state of transformation. Melnik engraves on a wall. The vibrations soothe Vilca.

When Melnik stops engraving to cough, Vilca comes to his aid. One day, Melnik is taken away.

Vilca finds himself alone, trying to recover the engraving stone but failing.

Vilca finds himself alone, the material eating away at him. He picks up the tool again and starts engraving. The vibrations camouflage the shrill sounds of the prison.

Vilca gradually recovers his senses and discovers an organic and colourful environment. He falls backwards and is drawn into the prison.

A monster pulls him into the centre of the prison.

A cocoon opens and another monster emerges. The monster pulling it attaches it to a stele. He activates a mechanism. Black matter comes out of a hole in the centre and heads towards Vilca. It covers him.

Vilca sees the coloured world again and lets go of the stone. He closes his eyes and manages to return. Vilca’s cocoon opens to reveal a dead Vilca covered in flowers. The monster approaches and picks up the stone, holding it as Melnik did.
