Son of Earth
신원: Son
배경: Inside a small shack, a robed figure – described as "God Killing Himself" in the credits – disembowels himself with a straight razor, and dies after cutting open his abdomen and removing some of his internal organs. A woman, representing Mother Earth, emerges from his mutilated remains. She brings the corpse to arousal, and uses his semen to impregnate herself. Time passes, and Mother Earth, now visibly pregnant, stands beside the coffin of the dead god. Wandering off into a vast and desolate world, she gives birth to Son of Earth, a malformed convulsing man. He is soon abandoned by his mother, who leaves him to his own devices. After spending time wandering across the barren landscape, the Son of Earth encounters a tribe of faceless nomads who seize him by his umbilical cord. Upon being captured, the Son of Earth begins to vomit organs, which the nomads excitedly accept as gifts. Carrying the Son of Earth with them through a rocky hillside, the nomads soon reveal their intentions, throwing him into a fire pit where he burns to death. Son of Earth is then resurrected by Mother Earth, who comforts her newly reborn offspring before they continue together across a desert plain. The nomads return and attack the Son of Earth as Mother Earth stands in a trance-like state. Turning their attention to her, the nomads knock her to the ground, rape her and murder her as her son watches helplessly nearby. Once the nomads have left, robed figures arrive and carry away Mother Earth's mutilated remains, later returning to abduct and murder her son. The robed figures then cut the bodies of mother and son into small pieces, crushing their bones and placing them into clay-filled jars, which they bury in the crust of the earth. Over time, the burial site becomes lush with flowers and crops as a montage of photographs depicting the robed god is shown. In the final scene, Mother Earth and her son appear, wandering through a forested path.
