Film inspired by Cosmic Horror style from the film Annihilation and the books of Lovecraft : Adrian Eriksen, a prestigious American government scientist, sees his partner die violently in an accident during their vacation, his face exploding against a rock because he did not dive from the top of a cliff far enough. To take his mind off things, Adrian accepts when he is asked to carry out a top secret mission on the ice floe where, in an underground/aquatic station, the piece of a titanic creature several km in size emerges from the ground. It is so immense that its shape is unidentifiable and it even seems to extend to the core of the Earth. In fact, even worse: the creature seems to have merged with the Earth or even to be an organic outgrowth of it. Scientific measurements say the creature appears to be from such a long time ago that their devices cannot assimilate such a figure. The material which composes it is also unidentifiable and soon we discover a fault in the ice which leads straight into a cave located in the brain of the creature, traversed by a strange synaptic energy which alters reality and time, making Adrian see his husband whose face is gradually becoming distorted. The energy regenerates meat and allows a member of the crew to continue living even though his brain no longer exists, he is devoured from the inside by an energy parasite.
