Synopsis

The Deer Woman is a living sculpture, trapped in urban spaces of boredom and melancholy, and in utopian museums where she works and has fun pretending to be human, but only in poses (cleaning, drinking coffee, smoking, sleeping). In reality, she is a lonely, lifeless animal. Problems occur when signs of animal’s rage appear on her head, shaped like two horns. Her eyes are caught by the lonely Woman dancing in the rain. Will she take advantage of her growing animalistic powers and human eyes to find, fight and dance her way to her real nature – freedom?
