Sinopsis

Johan (20) and Mama (39) reside in a run-down crocodile park, their sanctuary. Johan’s father is nowhere to be seen, but Mama calls a white crocodile in the park as Johan’s father. Mama shields Johan from the outside world. With the appearance of a young girl, Arumi (23), the balance in Johan and Mama’s relationship becomes shaky. Mama disapproves of the relationship, and her dissent manifests in peculiar behaviour.
