Miúda is a girl who lovingly cares for her pet carnivorous plant, feeding it fresh ants. On the eve of her 7th birthday, Miúda wishes for the plant to call her by her name, but the plant demands more and more ants. Tired of being eaten, the ants devise a plan involving poetry, umbrellas, and a time machine. The film won awards at Anima Mundi and was also showcased at the International Film Festival.
