Synopsys
In Drumoh, a strange and ancient voice speaks to humans. It is the language of the first ones who inhabited this place. As the days go by, it is spoken less and understood by even fewer. Rarely, like a whisper, you can hear, "Come, I am here, day and night, always, long before everyone else, before you..."

Director's notes
I enjoy creating stories where the human is removed as the central piece of existence, diminishing the importance of humans, as I believe it is an important social exercise. I think we are a selfish species, and cinema can allow us to exercise new, less anthropocentric abilities. I appreciate art that is created with economic limitations because it knows how to exist beyond being a product, as a true form of expression, as genuine art, without commercial models, without attempting to sell itself.
