Synopsis
In a dark room, a man dressed in white awakens, injured, with a gaping black hole in his chest, oozing a viscous liquid. Panicked, he tries to escape, but the arrival of three strange, masked, and mysterious creatures prevents him. The creatures, relentless, bind him to a wheelchair and lead him down a sinister corridor littered with macabre remnants. At the end of this passage, he is brought into a banquet hall where an enigmatic woman, surrounded by ominous attendants, awaits him. In front of him, a tray is placed, revealing his own heart, still beating and oozing blood. The woman begins to devour this heart with a primal violence, while the man, helpless, endures intense suffering. His body bleeds from every orifice, seized with horrific spasms. Eventually, he succumbs, drained of life, while the woman collects a tear from his eye, carefully storing it in a vial labeled "Tears of Sorrow N.48." In a final macabre gesture, she transforms the man’s body into a creature of darkness, condemned to serve, with a black tear running down the mask now sealed to his face.
