A girl suffers from a feeling of great discomfort that comes without warning, like an uncontrollable disaster. The panic, accompanied by a flapping of wings, initiates a chaotic, dissociated journey into her unconsciousness.

Dekle se spopada z občutkom velikega nelagodja, ki prihaja brez opozorila kot nenadzorovana katastrofa. Ko se paniki pridruži še mahanje s krili, se začne kaotično in disociirano potovanje v njeno podzavest.
