In a dystopian, industrial dairy farm, a woman starts her first day on the job, observed by a hovering cow foreman. As dark liquid flows ominously from the faucets, workers operate massive machinery, their movements synchronized in mechanical efficiency. When "lunch break" arrives, a blue light flickers, transforming the humans into cows, while the black liquid shifts into milk. The workers, now in cow form, continue the assembly line, packaging the milk for shipment. The final, unsettling shot reveals the product on store shelves: Grannie Annie’s Dairy Farm – Humanly Sourced Cow Milk. The film offers a chilling commentary on mass production, exploitation, and the ethics of consumption.
On a routine mission to secure an abandoned industrial zone, a convoy of soldiers encounters a reality-defying threat.
