In Adalbert, this ordinary nobody, there lies a deep longing for a higher meaning, a purpose to his existence. For him, being human is too narrow, too restrictive and boring. He sees himself as a being who breaks the boundaries of perception between humans, animals and other species. In Adalbert's mind palace, this mental place where he has full control over how he is perceived, we follow his fantasies to the bitter end. We witness the exhilarating experience he has when he kills his pet, a black cat that he is very fond of. Which rearranges the molecules that make him up and shapes him into this higher being. Hungry for a similar experience, he tries to recreate the feeling with other cats, but it no longer works. The thrill is over until it occurs to him that he can kill a human. This second act completes Adalbert and gives him the confidence to try to convince us as viewers that there is a naturalness in perversion. As an unreliable narrator, he tries to entice us and make us understand his worldview, but he clearly does not see that he is alone.
