Set in an unspecified future where humans have begun to evolve rapidly, the story follows celebrity performance artist (played by Viggo Mortensen) and his partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux). Saul suffers from "Accelerated Evolution Syndrome," which causes his body to spontaneously grow new, mysterious organs. The duo turns the surgical removal of these organs into avant-garde public spectacles for a society where physical pain has mostly vanished. Key Themes:

: In a world without pain, surgery and self-mutilation have become the ultimate forms of pleasure and intimacy.

: A radical group believes humans must evolve to consume and digest industrial waste, such as plastic, to survive a toxic future. Crimes of the Future (2022)
