Turkey / Animation / 15' / HD / Color / 2020
Born with a word from nothing, the creature must eat one of its own kind to survive. Even though this word which the creature has managed to pronounce brings him friends, enemies and new prey, it is difficult to maintain the balance. A big fight is inevitable and it will take a long time to get back to the beginning.
