Born from a sheep's corpse into a void—this is NOT your Sunday morning cartoon.
“Omen, a dark and timeless traveler, emerges from the belly of a gutted sheep and finds himself in an unknown void. In this tormented space, a disturbing encounter awaits him: an Enchantress. Through silent revelations and hidden omens, a haunting and supernatural journey begins, in search of meaning beyond appearances.”

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'onírico' keyword signals Calò's debt to Spanish surrealist Buñuel, particularly the sheep-as-sacrificial-lamb subversion from 'Un Chien Andalou'.
Francesca Pellegrini triple-cast as Omen and both Pinocchios wasn't budget constraint—Calò specifically wanted gender-queer multiplicity in a 14-minute runtime.
