Rhinocéros

A small-town doctor witnesses a mysterious contagion spreading through the community, transforming ordinary citizens into horned, hulking figures who embody conformity and ruthlessness. As the inexplicable phenomenon intensifies, friendships fracture and moral boundaries blur, forcing him to confront doubt, authority, and the cost of dissent. With calculated restraint and escalating claustrophobia, the narrative follows the consequences of fear-driven conformity while exploring themes of identity, responsibility, and the struggle to retain humanity in the face of an encroaching, unstoppable force. The setting tightens around a dwindling circle of witnesses who refuse to abandon reason amid growing hysteria.
