De Bug

Professor Walter Müller, a renowned, but reclusive entomologist, lives a life consumed by his work, particularly his research on a rare beetle species. His solitary existence is disrupted by the arrival of a young, ambitious journalist who wants to write a story about him. As they spend more time together, Müller finds himself drawn into a world beyond his academic pursuits, confronting his own isolation and the complexities of human connection.
