A 24-minute mindfuck where human evil meets extinction anxiety. This short bites harder than features triple its length.
In a dystopian near-future where animal species are on the brink of extinction, a violent sociopath is interviewed by an institutional psychologist after confessing to a brutal attack. In search of a motive, the psychologist realises he must sink his teeth into the one thing that his subject finds meaningful: an obsessive fascination with animal nature and evolution.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Five Illustrations' structure deliberately echoes medieval bestiaries—moral lessons through animal symbolism, now weaponized.
Released amid 2026's wave of eco-anxiety cinema, but uniquely refuses comfort—no hope, no hero, only predatory recognition.
