In the film, nothing is depicted literally. There aren't any stunts.

In an attempt to conceal a monstrous parasite, 10 year old Vasalisa’s mother clothes her in a thick corset. Eight years later and the now teenaged Vasilisa has never taken the corset off, and the parasite has done nothing but spread. Desperate for the validation and love that she never got from her disgusted mother, she downloads Tindr, a ceremonious task for 18 year olds in the modern age, and meets an early 30’s man named Michael. She invites him over for a poolside date, and attempts to impress him with a series of awkward lies and flirting attempts. Unfortunately, Michael is not the hopeless romantic that Vasilisa was hoping he’d be, as he has one goal for this date: sex. As Michael pushes Vasilisa’s boundaries, her anxiety grows, and as her anxiety grows, the parasite grows with it, rapidly becoming irreconcilable.
