Two dogs, Rowf and Snitter, struggle to survive in the countryside after escaping from an animal research laboratory. They're pursued by search parties and then the military after rumours spread that they could be carrying the bubonic plague.
Can two escaped lab subjects outrun a relentless military pursuit fueled by fear of contagion? This hauntingly beautiful animation captures the visceral terror of being hunted as prey in a landscape that offers no sanctuary.
