Malignant - Deaufosse

In a coastal French town named Deaufosse (fictional), a slow environmental toxin — leached from WWII shipwrecks — induces a “malignant nostalgia,” a psychological condition where citizens become trapped in idealized memories while their bodies physically decay. Physicians call it Malignant Deaufosse . The only cure: complete erasure of the town’s history. Why interesting? It blends pathology with psychogeography — a malignant place as much as a malignant disease.
