Synopsis

A rundown part of the city where there is nothing but abandoned things on the streets. Young Victor loses his father, his only family, and comes up with a way to bring him back to life. He transplants parts of dumped cars in his father who is already dead and turns him into a cyborg. On top of an obvious Frankenstein theme, the loneliness of a young child after losing his family sends ripples of sadness and sorrow, especially because of the dry but realistic black and white filming and the imaginative science fiction-like approach.
