Sinopsis / Synopsis:
Mannvirki is a contemplative tale of adaptation to a ravaged environment. Set in and around the concrete shell of an old factory reclaimed by wind and weather, humans and non-humans alike interact with ruins that become the keystone of an emerging ecosystem. As these characters’ micronarratives unfold and coincide, the building and the creatures it supports begin to function as a unified whole, until this entity too succumbs to entropy.
