In a dilapidated former Arctic research station, Creature is unknowingly enlisted by a military brigade into an experimental programme. He's tested and experimented on by a zealous Doctor, overseen by the sensitive Captain, for his mental and physical ability to adapt to extreme cold, isolation, and homesickness; all vital qualities in mankind's proposed colonisation of the "final frontiers" on Earth and beyond.
Creature meets and falls in love with Marie, a cleaner who shows him kindness and compassion; together they dream of escape. But the remorseless Military is led by the violent Major, who becomes obsessed with Marie and offers her passage from the doomed planet. Marie finds herself caught between the two men and Creature begins to lose his grasp on reality with tragic consequences.
Creature takes inspiration from Georg Buchner's seminal play Woyzeck and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. This vivid cinematic experience is a beautiful, tragic tale of an outsider's search for belonging, the insatiable desires of the powerful, and the enduring hope found in human connection and compassion.
