Dancing man.

Synopsis

As Kev prepares to leave his remote village for the promise of the big city, he begins to sense that the locals aren’t willing to let him go. A string of unsettling encounters with the town’s ageing residents draws him into a hidden underworld where tradition is sacred and escape is forbidden. Before long, Kev is trapped in a grotesque, ritualistic game of indulgence, where survival depends on how much he’s willing to consume. With no way out but to play along, Kev must confront the true power at the heart of the village - the Butcher.
