On this muddy day, deep in a swamp, a group of people gathers to celebrate. Festive and absurd ceremonies, both funny and pathetic, take place. With everyone stuck in the same mud, various relationships come to light and moods shift. There are those who want to express themselves at all costs and others who get bogged down in their own thoughts. Often overwhelmed by events, the characters unwittingly create a chaotic and burlesque scene. Each is driven by their own feverish impulses, and expressing them seems to be the only remedy to avoid sinking collectively into this thick, sticky mud. They all share the same goal: to escape the soft earth in which they are drowning. Celebrate or sink—that is their motto to avoid getting bogged down... forever.
On this muddy day, deep in a swamp, a group of people gather to celebrate. A mix of festive, strange, comical, and tragic rituals unfolds. They are all caught up in the same muddy mess, and various relationships and emotions begin to surface. Some are determined to express themselves no matter what, while others become trapped in their own thoughts. Often overwhelmed by events, the characters unwittingly create a chaotic and burlesque situation. Each is driven by their own passions and desires; expressing them seems to be the only way to avoid sinking together into this thick, sticky mud. A sensitive authoritarian, a woman mourning for no reason, a compulsive laugh, a desperate Cupid, a tormented lover—they all share the same goal: to escape the soft earth in which they are drowning. Celebrate or drown—that is their motto to avoid being swallowed up… forever.
