On a remote Arctic research station, a captive creature (played by the English National Ballet’s charismatic principal dancer Jeffrey Cirio) is unwittingly enlisted into a military program that subjects him to sinister experiments. Amid this turmoil, he finds himself enamoured with a cleaner, the only person who shows him kindness; together, these two outsiders dream of escape from their dystopian surrounds.

[CPH:DOX '23] Asif Kapadia's direction stays in long shots to give good visibility to Akram Khan's forceful choreography, but sometimes places the camera behind the wooden beams of the stage, leaving the perspective of the audience behind, uses close-ups to capture the emotional intensity of the performers or shows the inhospitable outdoor setting where the creature is sent as punishment. In this way, the film manages to get rid of the simple visual representation of a dance work to acquire an essentially cinematographic visual texture.
