Africa in the sixties. The Nile perch, a ravenous predator, is introduced into Lake Victoria as a scientific experiment, causing the extinction of many native species. Its meat is exported everywhere in exchange for weapons, creating a globalized evil alliance on the lake shores. An infernal nightmare in the real world that wipes out Darwin's Theory of Evolution.

VIBE

A stark, unflinching look at ecological disaster intertwined with human exploitation. It feels like a slow-motion catastrophe, exposing a brutal, globalized system built on destruction and desperation. A truly harrowing experience.
