A haunting stop-motion allegory about trauma and psychological entrapment, where a woman's inner world manifests as a surreal, morphing nightmare.

After escaping from a religious colony in Chile, Maria seeks shelter in a mansion where she’s taken in by two pigs, its only inhabitants. Like in a stop-motion dream, the universe of the house reacts to her feelings. The animals slowly morph into humans and the house into a dark, menacing world.
