A canary, a dog, a cat – even a fish. The young couple employed by the pet crematorium collect them all. They drive through a post-apocalyptic landscape on the shabby periphery of an industrial city. They make love, swim and are surprised by the large numbers of dead animals strewn along the roadside. When they hit a stray dog, their relationship starts to derail. This enigmatic debut is about the thin line between life and death, the spiritual connection between human and animal and the fragility of love between humans.
