Spa

A mysterious water leak spreads through the spa of a luxury hotel located in the heart of the Scandinavian countryside. In this extravagant decor, the dark, sticky liquid slowly flows down the labyrinthine corridors of the resort and trickles down the walls. A demanding VIP client disappears without a trace. A company seminar goes wrong. A man gets lost looking for his room. Two lovers are struggling to escape the horror of everyday life. An egocentric manager doubts himself. Mistreated employees accept their sad fate. Curious inspectors come to deal with their affairs.

Spais a nightmarish tale and a sharp critic of consumer society and the “wellness” industry, marked by a grotesque and fantasy humor. A farcical dance of death, as much inherited from genre cinema as from horror manga. A gripping closed-door story skilfully conceived by Erik Svetoft, graphic thaumaturgist and new cursed child of Swedish comics.
