Inspired by the short story of the same name H. P. Lovecrafts The picture in the house with strong anger from being human among beasts. A man flees in front of a teary mute and stumbles into an old house. There he fascinates a book that he finds in one of the rooms. With the owner of the house develops a fatal dialogue in which the one who has not lost everything yet.

The eponymous narrative of H. P. Lovecraft serves director David Lapuch as the basis for his dystopian, unholy cruel film. In a post-apocalyptic environment, a man finds himself on a clearing. Next to him two dead. The man flees – a rod of teary beasts in human form has hung on his heels. He stumbles into a lonely house. In one of the slightly illuminated, karg furnished rooms, he notices a leather-bound book that attracts him magically. The house is not uninhabited. Between the man and the owner, a manipulative dialogue is spinning in the midst of a bloody scenario in which mythical-surreal memories of another world finally become a peril.
