Dead Tongue

The barking and growling is constant, occasionally drowned out by fearful whining or irritated yapping. With whistles, a man leads a pack of dogs along a rough shoreline, across fields, and into the forest. His face remains out of view, his world submerged in grainy black-and-white. On the soundtrack, in half-sentences and with hesitant pauses, he begins a story he has never told before.
