Synopsis

In a fantastical reimagining of Victorian Scotland, a brilliant but eccentric surgeon reanimates a young woman, implanting the brain of her unborn child into her skull. Bella Baxter embarks on a whirlwind journey of self-discovery across continents, experiencing life and love with a voracious appetite. This is a tale of liberation and identity, told with dark humor and a unique artistic vision.
