In a delicate community built on bird droppings, a mysterious object sparks a revolution—progress comes at a surprising cost.
"This film proves that the symbolism on the dogmatism, religion and authority – just like poop – can come in any form and shape. In a nihilistic, yet delightfully absurdist way, this animation shows what price we are willing to pay to pretend that our world becomes more valuable – when in reality its sad building material stays essentially the same."– Jury Statement of Ale Kino, Poznań, 2026
"This playful animation is not afraid to elevate sh*ts and giggles into an existential comedy. " – International Journalists' Statement, Zubroffka, Białystok, 2026
"Beautiful artwork and wonderful animation." – Jury Statment of Pöff, Estonia, 2026
