When Luiza arrives at her estranged mother, Celia's, new home, she quickly senses something ominous lurking beneath the skin of Celia's new domestic facade. Soon, Luiza meets V, Celia's new caretaker. According to V, Celia is under the illusion that V is her daughter. Celia loves tending to her "newborn" and the home they share - something that irks Luiza, who has never seen this nurturing side of her mother before. A strange, sweaty descent into a fever dream ensues, paralleling the reproduction cycle of the parasitic, Glyptapanteles wasp. Before long, Luiza learns precisely what is under her mother's skin and must escape before it makes its way under hers, too - but some cycles pierce too deep to be broken.
