Steven, a charismatic surgeon, is forced to make an unthinkable sacrifice after his life starts to fall apart, when the behaviour of a teenage boy he has taken under his wing turns sinister.

"Viewers will doubtless have their own vastly differing reactions to this bizarre drama. Farrell has said that making the film left him “fucking depressed”; others may be variously amused or appalled. I veered between being impressed, alarmed, confused and creeped-out. That, I suspect, would make Lanthimos laugh."
