SYNOPSIS
Young Plazen (“fire”) takes care of John, who is very sick. They live in an old farmhouse and have a brown cow. John asks Plazen to kill him this way ending his sufferings but the boy, scared, tries to find a way to make him feel better.
The cow’s point of view, in this suspended and ambiguous dimension, will incarnate this way the complexity of the moral dilemma and the authoritarian fascination of the mother’s womb.
