A boy watches a vendor sell baby chicks that will die in days, and suddenly understands he's watching someone sell death itself. The film doesn't flinch from what that means, or what it costs to see clearly. Most people miss this one entirely, which is exactly why it stays with you after it ends.

A boy comes across a man at a roadside stall selling chicks. He already knows the little birds will not live long. The way he sees it, the man is not really offering pets at all but trading in death. The film is a psychological piece built around that single unsettling encounter and the dark way the boy perceives it.
