Film Synopsis

Roos lives with her snails in a park, maintaining a small, well-organised microcosm. A threat comes from birds that prey on snails, and the arrival of two newcomers disrupts her settled world further. As the newcomers fall in love, Roos feels invaded and withdraws, growing aggressive in defence of her way of life to the point of causing harm. The film is a portrait of dehumanisation under the pressure of perceived intrusion.
