Hana is certain: to finally be happy, she has to lose weight. But that's easier said than done. That's why she's on fire when she discovers a new miracle pill - even though it contains a shocking ingredient: the ashes of human remains. Above all, however, it comes with horrific side effects. The ghost of the woman whose body she consumes by the pill haunts Hana more and more. And it is literally insatiable.
From the director of RELIC comes a scalpel-sharp and contemporary cross between body horror and ghost movie. Her reckoning with the body optimization mania has a lot to say about our often pathologically disturbed image of ourselves and others, but doesn't fail to give us a lasting scare - also thanks to its incredibly effective soundtrack. Disturbing and always really disgusting: a mixture of THE SUBSTANCE and THE EYE.
