Plot

In a world in decay, a woman collects her dead animals and restores them to life by filming them images by image.

Sinekatalog’s take

A haunting experimental short about reviving dead animals through the act of filming. Its eerie, handmade science-fiction imagery lingers in the mind. Perfect for fans of strange, gothic-flavoured visual poetry.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
