BITE ist eine filmische Hommage an den Schriftsteller-Totengräber Tico, der trotz seines einfachen Lebens stets auf der Suche nach ästhetischer und politischer Inspiration ist. Das Streben nach Autonomie, einem Alltag abseits von Zwängen und dem beständig neugierigen Nachdenken über die Welt machen Tico aus.
