—
A man falls from the sky into a deserted field with nothing but a lamb in a suitcase and an engagement ring in his pocket. Disorientated, he embarks on a city-wide journey towards his arranged marriage with a woman he has never met. The road to the protagonist’s wedding is peppered with allegorical depictions of the nature of manhood and, as foreshadowed by the bleating lamb, sacrifice.
