Earwig (15)

Albert aka Earwig lives in a dingy apartment in mid-20th century Europe with a young ward called Mia, who lacks teeth. Every day, Albert fashions a set of choppers for Mia from ice at the behest of an invisible master, who telephones to check on the girl's progress. Mia is not permitted to leave the apartment and shutters remain closed to the outside world. During a telephone conversation with the master, Albert is told that he has just eight days to prepare Mia to leave her home.
