Am I a work of art? (2025)

Baron "Bear" Bailey works alongside his friends Ian and Sarah at a small independent record store, where he quietly nurses an unspoken affection for Nikki Freeman, a woman in their social circle. One evening Bear returns to his apartment and finds his orange cat, Sandy, collapsed on the kitchen floor beside a tipped pill bottle. He observes the small white tablets scattered across the linoleum and realizes Sandy has ingested oxycodone; the animal is motionless, and Bear cradles the cat as it dies. Stunned, he takes Sandy outside and buries the pet, then wanders into the city in a daze before stopping at a nearby metaphysical shop. Intending to buy Nikki a crystal necklace as a comfort gift, he instead wanders the cluttered aisles and is drawn to a novelty called One Wish Willow, a ceramic figurine packaged with the claim that breaking it grants a single wish. On impulse he purchases the item and takes it home.

That same night Bear and the group hang out together. Nikki, who has been part of their circle with Ian and Sarah for some time, confronts Bear and asks him directly whether he likes her. He freezes and cannot admit his feelings. Alone in his apartment later, restless and desperate, Bear smashes the One Wish Willow against his kitchen counter and articulates a wish: he wants Nikki to love him more than anyone else in the world. Immediately after he finishes the words, Nikki, who had been elsewhere, appears at his door. She asks to stay with him, claiming her estranged father is dying of cancer and that she has nowhere else to go. They move into Bear's small apartment that night.

In the bedroom, Nikki leans over Bear and kisses him. The kiss is intense but is suddenly broken when she starts screaming and pulls back, shaken. The next morning she gathers Sandy's remains and constructs a crude memorial on Bear's coffee table with the cat's fur and a ribbon. Bear is horrified, but later Nikki explains to him that her erratic actions the night before were the result of MDMA she had taken earlier; she apologizes and describes feeling emotionally raw. The two talk and, after a succession of halting confessions, they admit mutual attraction and begin a tentative romance.

On their first official date, while they are at a diner, Bear's phone rings. Ian is on the line and tells Bear something that unsettles him: Nikki had previously told Sarah that she saw Bear as more of a little brother than a romantic prospect shortly before she and Bear began going out. Ian also reveals to Bear that Nikki lied about her father's illness. Confused, Bear confronts Nikki about the supposed falsehoods. Nikki reacts defensively and then angrily, denying that she intended to deceive him and railing against Bear's questions before cutting the conversation short. That night Bear wakes to feel someone watching him. He sits up and finds Nikki standing by his bed, eyes wide and rimmed with tears. She sobs and accuses him of not loving her, her voice high and hysterical, and then collapses against the wall. He calms her and they fall asleep, but the tension remains.

The following day Bear leaves his apartment briefly and on returning finds the front door sealed with strips of duct tape, crudely applied across the lock to keep it closed from the inside. The tape is still warm and sticky; when he forces the door open, he notices a sandwich Nikki prepared for him left on the counter. The sight of the sandwich triggers a further shock: embedded within the lettuce and bread are clumps of matted fur, and Bear recognizes Sandy's remains used as a grotesque garnish. He vomits and discards the sandwich, his stomach roiling, and immediately calls the customer service number printed on the One Wish Willow packaging, desperate to rescind the wish. The representative he speaks with tells him there is no way to undo a wish once granted, and explains that the wish will only expire when Bear himself dies. While Bear pleads, the agent places someone else on the line, and Bear hears Nikki's voice screaming in the background. Panic seizes him and he cuts the call short.

He returns to the apartment and finds Nikki standing motionless in the hallway, as if she has been frozen in place all day. Her clothes are stained and sticky with dried bodily fluids; she has remained rooted there for hours, staring blankly down the corridor. Bear is unsettled by the sight and asks her what has happened. Nikki tells him in halting sentences that a part of her is "asleep" and that the part in control does not want to be with him; she begs Bear to kill her so that the other side will not exist. Bear recoils at the request and refuses, offended and angry that she would prefer death to a life with him.

Shortly afterwards Bear receives a text from Sarah asking him to meet at the park. As he prepares to leave, Nikki, in a moment of lucidity, again pleads with him to end her life. Bear tells Nikki he will not do it and storms out. At the park, Sarah confronts Bear with something she has been hiding. She tells Bear that for two years Nikki and Ian have been casually intimate -- a series of on-again, off-again encounters -- and that Sarah suspects Nikki is seeing Bear now as a means of punishing Ian. Sarah also hints, awkwardly, that she herself has feelings for Bear. The three of them sit in Sarah's parked car discussing the tangled relationships, and the conversation grows heated. As Sarah suggests that Nikki's motives are manipulative, Nikki suddenly appears next to the vehicle and smashes the passenger window with the heel of her hand. The glass explodes inward. Without pausing, Nikki grabs Sarah and drags her from the seat to the curb. She lifts Sarah and repeatedly slams the woman's head into a concrete brick paving stone, over and over, until Sarah's skull fractures and her face is a smear of blood and bone. Sarah dies at the scene. Nikki, breathing hard and covered in blood, moves the body into the back of her car and tells Bear in a cold, clipped voice to go home while she takes care of the disposal.

Bear leaves the park disoriented and runs through the city in a panic. He returns to the metaphysical shop and buys every remaining One Wish Willow he finds, convinced that if he acquires them all he might find a way to reverse his original wish. He brings the ceramic figures back to Ian's apartment and attempts to break one, but every figurine resists shattering; he smashes them against the floor, the table, and the walls and each one stays intact until he jars them to the point of cracking only to find they will not break. Desperate and trembling, Bear explains to Ian in frantic detail everything he has experienced since breaking the first Willow: Nikki's sudden appearance, her claim of a dying father, her erratic outbursts, the sandwich made with Sandy's remains, the taped door, the frozen day, the pleading to be killed, and finally Sarah's murder. Ian listens with a mixture of disbelief and concern. Bear begs Ian to undo the wish, to find some magical or legal loophole. Ian, attempting to cut through the horror with sarcasm, picks up one intact Willow and mock-wishes for a billion dollars. Immediately the ceiling of Ian's apartment becomes a downpour of cash: banknotes flutter from vents and rain down into the room, scattering across the furniture. The surreal wind of paper leaves Bear stunned while Ian laughs uneasily at his own joke made real.

Bear leaves Ian's apartment with the last intact One Wish Willow in a paper bag and returns to his own building, determined to force Nikki to reverse whatever has happened. When he opens the door to his apartment he is met by a scene of destruction. Sarah's body lies in Bear's living room, mutilated and contorted; the head shows multiple blunt-force injuries consistent with the brick assault at the park, and the torso bears further damage from where Nikki has rearranged the corpse. Nikki stands in the center of the room wearing clothes that once belonged to Sarah, smeared with blood. She holds a pistol to her temple and points its barrel at Bear as well, keeping him at gunpoint. Her voice is calm and flat as she tells him not to move. She tells him she will kill them both if he does not comply.

At that moment Ian arrives at the apartment door. He calls out Bear's name and steps into the hallway, perhaps intending to check on the friends or to continue the conversation about the Willows. Nikki turns and fires a single shot. The bullet slams into Ian's chest at close range and he collapses in the doorway, a red blossom blooming across his shirt. He dies immediately, the gunshot wound tearing through his sternum and lungs. Nikki drops the pistol momentarily, staring at Ian's body, then moves to stand over him as if to make sure he is dead. Bear, frozen with grief and terror, finds his legs carry him to the bathroom, where he locks the door and slides down against the tiles.

Inside the bathroom Bear pulls out a gun. He contemplates his own life, the string of impossible events, and the knowledge from the One Wish Willow support that the wish will only break when he dies. He raises the pistol to his temple and tightens his grip, but at the last second cannot bring himself to pull the trigger. Instead he tears open a bottle of oxycodone he has kept in the medicine cabinet--wearing a haze from fear and grief, he swallows the remaining pills in a bid to end his life by overdose. Within minutes his vision begins to swim; his heart pounds, and a warm, heavy feeling spreads through his limbs. He stumbles toward the bathroom sink, gagging, and forces himself to induce vomiting, hoping to expel the drugs before they take hold. As he crouches over the basin, retching, he hears a sound from the living room: ceramic snapping.

Nikki has taken the last unbroken One Wish Willow and smashed it. The wish that Bear hears her voice articulate is not heard aloud as a replay for him, but he experiences a sudden compulsion. Under the Willow's power, Bear's paralysis breaks and he steps out of the bathroom. He moves toward Nikki, despite the overdose burning through his system. He approaches her slowly and, with shaking hands, pulls her close and kisses her deeply. The overdose accelerates as the drugs take full effect; his breathing becomes shallow, his knees buckle, and his pulse fades. He collapses against Nikki's hip; his head drops back and his eyes go blank as his body succumbs to the amount of oxycodone in his bloodstream. He dies on the floor of the apartment with Nikki holding him.

Nikki, who until that moment had held the gun to her own head and to Bear's temple, feels the immediate cessation of the compulsion that had seized her. The act of Bear's death seems to end the forced capacity for adoration that the wish generated, snapping a part of Nikki back to a clearer state of mind. She staggers away from Bear's lifeless body and the dead Ian in the hallway. For a long moment she stands in the wrecked living room among the scattered ceramic fragments of the Willows, the rain of cash still fluttering in a corner blown in from Ian's apartment, and the blood-smeared clothing she is wearing. Her hands tremble as she raises the gun again to her temple, preparing to end her own life. Instead, the sight of Bear's corpse brings something raw and uncontrollable to her throat; she drops the gun and begins to wail, a high keening sound that reverberates through the apartment. She collapses to the floor and curls over Bear's body, sobbing and rocking, her cries filling the room.

Bystanders do not arrive in the immediate minutes that follow. The apartment sits in silence except for Nikki's sobs and the distant street noise filtering through the windows. Blood pools under Ian and Sarah; Sandy's fur and the ribbon lay on the coffee table as a macabre memorial. The shattered One Wish Willows lie in ceramic shards on the floor around Nikki and Bear, and the last pill bottle rests on the sink where Bear had taken the tablets. The final image is Nikki on the floor, consumed by grief and hysteria, surrounded by the corpses of those she loved and those who were connected to her, while Bear is dead at her feet and Ian lies dead in the doorway. The film ends with Nikki weeping aloud in the ruined apartment, the aftermath of the violence and the consequences of a wish made in despair fully realized.

No verified information in the provided results confirms a post-credits scene for Am I a work of art? (2025), so I can't reliably describe one.

In the story, Zeus-Peter Lama is the famous contemporary artist whose fixation is to sculpt a human body into a living artwork. He becomes drawn to Adam, a suicidal young man on the verge of disappearing from life, because Adam seems like an easy prey and a body he can reshape into his ultimate creation.

Adam is a 20-year-old narrator who is described as suicidal and effectively non-existent before Lama intervenes. His emotional condition is fragile and self-erasing, which makes him especially susceptible to being taken in by Lama's project.

Adam bis is the name given to Adam after he is turned into a living sculpture. The transformation shifts him from a despairing, anonymous young man into the centerpiece of Lama's artistic ambition, making his body the site of the artist's obsession.

Carlos Hannibal is a great painter of the invisible, and Fiona Hannibal is his daughter. Fiona becomes Adam's future wife, tying Adam's fate not only to Lama's artistic project but also to the Hannibal family.

Several figures orbit Lama's residence and help sustain the strange environment around him: Dr. Fichet, a forensic doctor forced to work for Lama because of gambling debts; Zoltan, Lama's driver; and Titus, his servant. Adam's brothers, Enzo and Rienzi Firelli, are also named as part of his background, while their reputation for extraordinary beauty underscores the story's preoccupation with bodies and appearance.

I can't verify that a 2025 film titled Am I a work of art? has an official, widely documented family-content guide from the information available here. Because of that, I can't responsibly label it family friendly or list specific upsetting scenes without risking inaccuracy.

If you want a cautious answer, the safest approach is to treat it as unknown/unrated until a trusted rating or parent guide is checked. Common areas to screen for in a film with this kind of title are mild-to-strong language, emotional distress, artistic nudity, drinking or smoking, and intense themes, but I can't confirm any of those for this specific movie.
