Pluto's Eclipse | Award Winning Short Film | Fabian Adams | Hook Films

In an unknown land, a starving man from an abandoned tribe eats strange leaves, slipping into a euphoric dream of a mermaid. When he awakens, he finds only a stone that reminds him of her and begins to worship it. Soon, another tribe appears—alien in appearance, reflecting the cold hues of Pluto. One of them, driven by envy, finds his own stone and declares it sacred. When the envious tribe steals the first man’s stone, he murders in desperation—using the very object he adored. Beneath a tree, with blood on his hands, he eats a fallen apple—mocking mankind’s pursuit of knowledge, war, and power. As time becomes a god, humanity seeks equality, but blinds itself like the three wise monkeys—deaf, mute, and blind to its own origin: hunger. From survival to lust, to the divine, humans have always fought—proving that even God was born from conflict.
