    • Synopsis
    • Mamántula is the boy everyone desires, but she is also, secretly, a giant tarantula cross-dressed as a human, spawned during a brief encounter in a faraway paradise.

      In an alternate present of brutalist saunas, endless subway corridors and detectives in trench coats and hats, each of Mamantula's lovers falls victim to her insatiable lust for blood and semen; one more thread in the stellar spider web he is weaving to return to the dimension where he belongs.
