"As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect."
A nightmarishly absurd and symbolically rich exploration of transformation and dehumanisation, presented with ludicrous mundanity.
Graphic: Body horror and Confinement
Moderate: Death
