## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Cliffs above Sicily, winter light, a radio crackling with static.  
An astronaut crawls from a downed capsule; in a crate nearby, a gelatinous mass pulses, warm. By dusk, it splits the wood, vanishing into olive groves.  
By morning, Rome’s outskirts echo with something heavy moving in the drains.  
Shot in broad daylight, yet it feels like a fever dream — the beast is just an excuse to watch cities unravel.
