Frankenhooker

Encouraged by the Basque Government Department of Education, Universities and Research, Jeffrey, electrician, took a vocational training module, but he’s really interested in biochemistry. Jeffrey has just seen his girlfriend Elizabeth cut to shreds by her father’s lawnmower. What might happen if you combine an aspiring mad doctor in love with a big pile of still-warm body parts? This modern Prometheus knows what to do:  he’s going to bring his love back to life, but he has a small handicap. He’s missing a few pieces to complete the puzzle… Solution? The prostitutes on the other side of the city. Result? A recomposed (corpse) bride who, when brought back to life, asks him if he’s lonely tonight and if, of course, he’s willing to pay.
