Languages are carried beyond words, in a glance, a game, or a ritual. Through a disintegrating tongue and a capella songs, we think about the nature of communicating and try to narrate ourselves back to life. Cinema becomes a space to understand survival, selfhood, and alterity. Here, storytelling is an act of relation, and an image speaks the patient language of care.
A family invents a series of rituals to describe the trouble they're in: first a burial, then an alien invasion. A cappella songs composed for the film act as a twisted guide, describing different ways the world has already ended.
