Nekromantik 2

The opening and core events unfold around a church graveyard where Rob's body is retrieved, establishing a haunting atmosphere. Monika's apartment becomes the central hub for her disturbing fixation, where she preserves Rob's body, photographs it, and later hides a severed head on the coffee table. A cinema visit and a carnival date provide a contrast to Monika's private rituals, while a trip to the ocean signals a moment of reflection on her path.

💀 Necrophilia and Obsession

Monika's fixation on Rob's corpse drives the plot, blending intimacy with death. Her acts—dismembering the body, storing parts, and using Rob as a stand-in partner—show a consuming, dangerous obsession. The film explores how such fixation permeates relationships and boundary-setting. The tension between longing and revulsion reveals the fragility of human connection.

🫀 Normalcy vs Deviance

Monika yearns for a normal relationship with a living man, Mark, after a carnival date, illustrating a wish to live a conventional life. Yet her necrophiliac acts and the final head swap reveal how deviance intrudes into everyday intimacy. The juxtaposition highlights the difficulty of separating desire from transgression. Mark's dawning unease marks the fissure between fantasy and reality.

🕸️ Secret Networks and Isolation

Monika is shown as part of a hidden network of necrophiliac friends who share taboo interests, evident in their movie nights and the presence of Rob's severed head during gatherings. This secret circle isolates her from the living world while offering a fragile sense of belonging. The network both protects and traps her, complicating any chance of genuine connection.
