Body Horror, coming of age

Genius Noa is raised by her single mother, a brilliant scientist who has gone completely crazy due to her obsession with her research into nuclear energy. Out of desperation and as a cry for her mother's attention, Noa eats a piece of radioactive material. But when she ends up in an orphanage after her mother's suicide, she discovers that this has far-reaching consequences. There is something growing inside her whose hunger cannot be stopped.
