Summaries

An adaptation of Franz Kafka's classic story about Gregor Samsa, a man who awakes and sees himself suddenly turned into a repulsive insect that causes problems to his (at one time) beloved family, who find ways of getting rid off of him. The innovation from this film version is to tell the story from Gregor's perspective, and audiences are unable to see his current appearance.—Rodrigo Amaro
