A man and a monster made of the same clay, trapped in a grey void where every movement costs them flesh. The horror isn't in what they fight, it's in what they're forced to become to survive. By the end, you won't know which one deserved to live more. This is a complete story told in the time most shorts waste establishing tone, and it leaves you gutted in a way full-length horror films forget how to do.
Lumps of clay drop into an empty grey space. The white clay takes the shape of a man, while the black clay becomes a monster. Every time either of them moves, it loses some of its flesh, so the two are drawn into a fight to stay alive. The result is a short horror film built around two clay figures whose bodies wear away as they struggle against each other.
