For years now, giant talking newts have been used both for their labor and as laboratory animals. The Newt Congress takes place at a conference building surrounded by nature where participants have come together to optimize the exploitation of the animals. The short film is a free adaptation of Karel Čapek‘s War with the Newts.

Once a year, the operators of a potassium mine host a race across their mine dump. A white path guides the guests across the machine-made landscape. Their appearance is as sudden as their disappearance.

In a world where death has become a private service company, three workers rebel against their own mortality.
