Les animaux vont mieux

Lick a Wound
A mysterious community of animals has chosen to live self-sufficiently and separated from the humans. Engaging in various rituals in the basement of a church, they remember their existence as pets, mourn the deceased and develop fantasies of omnipotence and revenge. A reckoning in the form of a hyper-realistic computer animation.
