Beneath a sky whose moving clouds emit audible murmurs, a bleak, shadow‑filled world unfolds. A solitary little girl spends her days gathering water in jars and guarding a large egg she carries everywhere. When a mysterious man appears, the two engage in quiet, cryptic conversations about the strange landscape that surrounds them.
