The experience is like an absurdist road movie on a weathered ice floe. In the heart of the Arctic, in a dreamlike, sometimes surrealistic landscape, you incarnate He Who Still Breathes, the spirit of a child who, having become an animal, learns to survive in an ecosystem disrupted by global warming and the modern world. In the frozen, white vastness, you encounter transmission towers and electric wires turned into monsters, wild whirlwinds, oil tankers with slicing propellers, vociferous drilling stations, drunken trees, and frenzied, biting mosquitos. Each time you fall down from exhaustion you choose a different animal, changing bodies in order to continue living. You will turn into a snowy owl, a caribou, a bear, a whale, and a seal. Run, fly, and swim until you are out of breath! Then you will be reborn as a human.
Enriched by your past lives, will your outlook on the world around you be transformed?
