“Desiderium is a short horror film based on the story “The Monkey’s Paw” in which three wishes are granted to the holder of a cursed paw. This narrative contains a warning about our elusive human desires and the price for altering fate. In our need to control every aspect of our lives there are consequences for the ways in which we interfere with nature. This film is a reminder that our intentions can not protect us from facing the loss or grief that we fear.
