The premise concerns Gilgamesh, a slightly demented, hydrocephalic dwarf boy riding his tricycle around a "sandbox kingdom." He attempts to seduce Enduku, a wild creature who resides in a forest (which actually constitutes a bird skull decorated with an array of exotic, multicolored feathers). Gilgamesh sends a prostitute, then sets a trap comprised of a mound of bloody flesh and a vulva-shaped trapdoor with a mechanical apparatus. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
