THE CRYPT
synopsis
Leduc, a French real estate developer, prepares an old Romanian thermal resort for renovation. A Roman fresco in a crypt delays the project, so he tries to burn it down.

He tries communicating with the few remaining residents and changes from a civilized being to a beast. Will he ever leave the courtyard?
