[Machine Translation] Set in a Belgian village, "Metamorphosis" is an allegorical depiction of people's abnormal love and madness. Director Fabrice de Wertz made a name for himself at Cannes and around the world with a frenzy of excitement and enthusiasm for his gruesome, godless, and intense work, the likes of which the world had never seen before. Ten years have passed since then. Ten years have passed since then, and a new film has been born, a film that presents an even deeper and more intense form of love. The film is based on the real-life perverted serial killer couple, Martha Beck and Raymond Fernandez, who were known as the "Lonely Hearts Killers" in 1940s America, committing over 20 murders in three years for love and a living. The film focuses on their relationship, and presents an emotional and vivid portrayal of how their attraction to each other leads them to commit more crimes and become accomplices in their crimes. The lead role is played by Laurent Lucas, who also starred in "Metamorphosis. This is the second installment of the "Belgian Darkness Trilogy," a fantastical and overwhelming trilogy that pulls all viewers into its darkness.

*Rated 15-and-over.
