WORLD PREMIERE - The Professor is a man suffering from a terminal disease. By a strange twist of fate he witnesses an incredible event involving his mysterious neighbour Agatha. In the hope of finding a cure to his sickness, he agrees to follow her on a strange and risky journey into a forgotten but not entirely deserted urban wasteland beset by the passing of time and the disintegration of nature, institutions, and people. A decade in the making, this unique and experimental horror film is a visually stunning mix of aesthetically stylised live-action and animation designed to evoke an unsettling mood and atmosphere.
