SYNOPSIS
Four teenagers (a soundscape archivist, passersby, and those searching for a lost cow) accidentally meet in the Red Zone. This former neighborhood became a mass grave after the Palu-Koro fault liquefied the ground. Together they search for a missing cow, but eventually they sink into the ground.
