| Summary |
Fusing elements of Kafka and Kubrick, CATERPILLARPLASTY is a prescient, grotesque sci-fi satire that lifts plastic surgery to another level. The film is set in a state-of-the-art clinic that mirrors a twisted cultural and economic system, a world where advanced technologies have cultivated new standards of beauty and prestige. As aggressive body modifications become an increasingly popular fad, the unnatural becomes natural, giving rise to a new kind of ostensible beauty that is costing us our individuality—and with it, our humanity. |
