Worm

Synopsis

When a detective arrives at a young girl's family home in order to investigate her disappearance, it soon becomes obvious he has bitten off more than he can chew.

Worm takes us on a surreal journey into a dark world filled with ferrets, dead mackerels and toothpicks; a world where the grotesque meets the ridiculous.
