A bloodied and beaten man sits next to a dragon-like beast, itself badly hurt and panting. He finishes it off and packs up his truck to leave.
In terms of narrative there is not too much to add to this. The film opens with this scene, with no explanation other than the film not having other people in it and it seeming like something has happened beyond this moment, but otherwise we are left with little information. From this setup the film suddenly becomes a piece of performance dance, where the actor dances in a combative manner along a suburban setting. The result is a film I admired for doing something I had not expected, but only for this. The dance didn't do a great deal for me, and as the novelty value wore off the film sort of sagged for me, which is not a great thing when it is so short.
Mostly it was the lack of anything that expands on the film during the dance, but it also didn't help that the dance occurring in a grey suburbia reminded me very much of season 1 of The OA, and how terrible that ending was - so I was distracted by that memory. Worth a look for the novelty value and for it doing something different, even if it doesn't really work.
