Synopsis
In a far-future Earth long abandoned by humanity, an alien race has taken up residence and attempts to inhabit human myths and archetypes they barely understand. The young herder Lobey embarks on an Orpheus-like quest to recover his lost love from the grip of death, journeying through a surreal landscape of mutation and legend.
