It's not about grand narratives but the subtle, intimate moments of existence. The practical effects and raw performances lend an authenticity that feels almost visceral. There's a haunting quality to it, reflecting on humanity’s relationship with the environment and our place in a world that seems to be spiraling into chaos.
