The story takes place in 19th century Europe, and revolves around John Watson. He is scouted by the government to become a secret agent.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gothic steampunk thriller that explores the horror of resurrection and artificial life through a murky lens of government conspiracy and industrial exploitation. Visually stunning but deliberately unsettling, it's a dense, philosophical nightmare wrapped in period-piece intrigue.
