Antonia (45) and Mavra (27) live together in a house with domesticated animals. Beneath fragile routines, a struggle for dominance unfolds. As care turns into control, their relationship escalates into a disturbing power game that blurs the boundaries between protection, exploitation and violence. What are we? Humans? Or Animals? Or Savages?
