Exterminata

Synopsis

The film presents a world in which an invisible, unknowable force gradually erodes the human capacity to feel. Fragments of ten languages, sterile spaces, the absence of familiar action and speculative imagery create a sense not of the end of the world, but of its slow disappearance.
