Since having lost the woman he loved (Lori Jo Hendrix), something that might have had to do with his mandrake addiction, Ariel (Bill Oberst jr) walks the woods, trying to stay away from civilisation as good as he can and only every not again entering abandoned and derelic buildings for abode. Eventually, his pain becomes too unbearable and he's about to shoot himself when he's hit over the head by a masked stranger (Manuel Domínguez) and wakes up all chained up and at the stranger's mercy. And the stranger certainly means no good as he's cultivating mandrakes, which according to legend is spawned by the jizz of hanged men ...

Dis is a movie that's most certainly one of its kind: It's a horror movie by foundation, but its approach is very artsy in the best possible way, it looks amazing, is very strong on atmosphere, intentionally keeps the narrative segments at a bare minimum to fill in the rest with associative images, doesn't waste any time with explanations, and thus leaves itself wide open for one's own interpretations. And the result is quite fascinating to say the least, thanks also to a very intelligent direction and a pretty intense Bill Oberst jr in the lead.
