Mountains. A lonely village. Hidden among the steep cliffs is a grotto, which the locals call the 'fairy grotto.' They say that fairies once hid stolen children there. Marietta and her son live far from everyone. For many years, they have led a peaceful, secluded existence. The son possesses amazing strength, but has never spoken a word in his life. He is deathly afraid of people and has the gift of communicating with animals and healing them. In the area, everyone lives their ordinary lives until, during a walk, a tourist stumbles upon a little girl. This unexpected encounter will shake everyone...

'Like Animals' is a story about the injustice of a society obsessed with rules and norms, a stinging slap in the face of a cruel reality hidden under the guise of a poetic fairy tale.
