Synopsis

A stranded whale meets its simulacrum as human interlopers observe, collect, dissect, and take selfies. A woman seeks closure. Blurring documentary and fiction, the film explores the changes wrought by human progress and advancement through an experimental lens: the time has come to mourn the whale.
