Biofilm

The trials and tribulations of a man diagnosed with colorectal cancer who refuses treatment and establishes a carnal fixation on the tumor that slowly siphons the life out of him.

A Sunday walk through the late summer landscape leads not only to a small lake, but also to the abyss of human existence. Dominance and oppression, superiority and humiliation serve for an alleged "incarnation".
