What is Bugonia all about?

Bugonia is a remake of the South Korean movie Save the Green Planet. The film centers on two men and a high-profile pharmaceutical CEO, Michelle Fuller. She is a strong and eccentric lady.

The two men, Teddy and Don, try to kidnap her. Teddy is convinced that Michelle is an Andromedan, an alien planning to destroy planet Earth. He is hellbent on his belief, and his cousin, Don, who is neurologically impaired, follows him blindly.

The story gains traction when they succeed in kidnapping Fuller, and they keep her in the basement. They shave her head and put lotion all over her body, believing she won't be able to use her powers that way.

Teddy demands that Michelle make the arrangements to meet with his emperor or chief. He had the conspiracy theory in him that the aliens would arrive during a lunar eclipse. He emphasizes meeting the chief before that.

She makes an attempt to escape as she promises that there is a teleporter in her office. When they enter the office, he reveals that he is wearing a suicide vest.

As he comes near the closet, the vest goes off by itself, and Teddy dies instantly. Michelle is bruised but saved by the explosion.

Michelle returns to her office after all is done. Whether she is really an Andromedan or it was all figments of Teddy's imagination is what the film is about.

Bugonia is all set to stream on Peacock on December 26, 2025.
