The short film tells the story (without establishing any dialogue) of a woman (Cannibal) who, one day, waking up, finds her husband (Corpse) dead, probably after trying to eat some piece of his own body. Compassionate with the living intentions of his spouse, Cannibal decides to show his love in the only way possible at that moment.
