Stucco is in a short film by Janina Gavankar and Russo Schelling .
action
A woman tries to hang up a picture in her apartment. In the following time she dreams of the hole in the wall that she made. So she discovers a long tongue emerging from it, which she caresses with her own in ecstasy.
On a surveillance video of her own apartment, she sees that she has pushed severed arms through the hole in a state of numbness. With a bello, she enlarges the hole in the wall and discovers a throne there that seems to be alive and made up of the severed arms she has dreamed of.
The throne draws them to it. She sits down and is crowned. When the throne seizes her, she suddenly picks up the hammer and hits it. She also wakes up in a trance when she has just demolished a car with a Bello.

The arms that protrude from the throne or from the crown or put them on belong to the actors Roby Attal , Leslie Odom Jr. and Rafael Casal .
