"Utopia is on the horizon.I move two steps closer; it moves two steps away. I walk ten steps and the horizon runs ten steps further.As much as I may walk, I'll never reach it. What's the point of utopia? The point is this: to keep walking." Eduardo Galeano
Anthropomorphic manifestations of the hyperobjects of animal husbandry, millitarisation, forestry plantations and capitalist markets become combating characters in this poetic film. Rooted in the realities of landlordism, climate collapse, and extractivism, the film draws on sci-fi tropes and the Mabinogion myth of Blodeuwedd to rupture the seeming inevitability of capitalism.
