Based on the epic prose poem by Lautreamont detailing the metaphysical adventures of the sinister Maldoror. This episode involves Maldoror's hallucinatory encounter with an entity in the form of a glowworm that promises him enlightenment in exchange for the murder of a wraith called Prostitution. Maldoror, enraged, slays the hideous worm and makes love to Prostitution sealing his arcane initiation by which he is enlightened and transformed into a demon enemy of humanity.
