Félicia orders a new version of herself from a start-up that promises beauty delivered to her door; the box arrives — and what remains is an instruction manual, a body, and an irreversible error.
Picked by Felix
The scouts
A startup selling selfhood as a product that arrives broken—the premise alone is subversive enough to make consensus critics squirm, and Bück leans into the surreal horror of it without winking. This is the kind of sci-fi dark comedy that makes you uncomfortable because it's genuinely weird, not because it's trying to be.
Bück situates herself in a lineage of body-horror cinema and consumer satire, but the formal restraint of a two-minute runtime forces a precision that feels more aphoristic than narrative—the instruction manual detail is the kind of considered image-choice that distinguishes craft from mere provocation.
The decision to make the 'error' itself the unrevealed center of the film—letting the audience's dread fill that void rather than spelling it out—is the small formal choice that transforms what could've been a punchline into something genuinely unsettling and singular.
