Pupa.
I've watched some pretty hardcore shit before.
I've never watched anything coming close to Pupa, and I only watched the first episode of it on a dare years ago. Stay away. Incest, insides, guts, cannibalism, parasites, gruesome childbirth, abuse, etc. Don't recommend.

This scene took place a few days after Iris's funeral, and around 2 years after the latest piece I posted.
