Synopsis
Spoiler shield
A tale of lust and bestiality set in a zoo. Delmas, the zookeeper, is obsessively in love with a bizarre carrion-creature, while his daughter Dol makes increasingly desperate attempts to be noticed. It ends badly, with the creature dying, Delmas devoured by tigers, and Dol herself imprisoned in the tiger pit.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
