Zidik now works together with Hassan in the junkyard but both men are stuck in the past. 15 years ago, they lost their loved ones to a virus that turned people violent.

Meanwhile, Dr. Rahman, a disgraced scientist who previously managed to contain the virus, manufactures a new strain of zombie virus to create chaos. Amid this new zombie outbreak, Zidik encounters a zombified Zooey who tries to attack him but she slowly begins to remember who he is.

Fever Dream

Fever Dream

"Just look what you've done, stepping into a dream like this," are the first words of the film, created using a combination of techniques. Just as images overlap in our sleep, here too animated, static, and film scenes about illness, stagnation, and freedom, animals and weeds—both mental and in the garden—overlap and are stitched together with sound.
