A surreal, allegorical fever dream about gender conflict and adolescent awakening, structured as a darkly fantastical escape into a strange sanctuary.

There is a global gender war between men and women. A teenage girl tries to escape this reality and arrives at a hidden place where a strange unicorn lives with a family: sister, brother, many children and an old, bedridden woman who stays in contact with the world through her radio.
