And so Benny follows through life with this deluded, emotionally-arrested perception of life that brings him to a singular, important moment when his fantasies and his warped perception of reality intermingle for a horrible purpose. Plunged into a new-life within a generic Eastern European world with an archaic appearance, Benny is heralded as a miracle and raised with the privilege of the blessed.īut Benny has an internal existence, focused on his own perceptions, his own desires, so much so that any notice he gives of other people on serves an obsessive need for self-gratification. In fact, he is the cosmic reincarnation of a priestess spurned by her spiritual leader Bezimena because she panics about attacks on their temple.

Presented in fairy tale terms, though definitely with a Grimm Brothers joylessness, Bezimena tells the tale of Benny, the son of a leather-maker born to a couple without hope of having children.

Bezimena is a reaction and investigation of other horrible events that happened in those years, several sexual assaults, but not in a direct way.
