Already your flesh has been moved

Flesh and meat.

Drawing on pre-biblical mythology, "flesh of my flesh" is a queer retelling of the "first" murder. Abel returns from the wars of God our Father to a bombed out and pillaged Canaan. His brother/lover Cain leads him to a barren field where, in an effort to reinstate the garden of paradise, he performs the sacrificial ritual. The consequence (for Cain and all his tribe) is banishment, to the land "east of Normal."

After a young woman is forced to take part in a strange ritual, her body begins to change.

This film delves into the intrusion of the physical and material body, structured around three instructions. It represents a progression in the search within, driven by the need to pierce through the flesh and opacity of the body to uncover what resides inside, whether out of morbid curiosity or as a form of love.
