Nicolas Pleskof
From their daughters' menstruation to the birth of their dog, everything seems to be under control for Emanuele and Olivier. This morning, however, their youngest daughter Lea hasn't come down for breakfast. In her bed the parents and Emilie, their eldest, discover to their horror a monstrous cocoon. Gradually chaos takes over.

Bert Haanstra
A perfect, fast and hilarious montage. Using images from Artis (Amsterdam Zoo), Bert Haanstra shows that a couple of similarities can be discovered between human and animal. Particularly the manner in which human and ape are confronted with each other, is significant. The images speak for themselves, human voices or commentary is absent. The ironic music of Pim Jacobs does add an extra dimension to the whole. With regards to human and animal Haanstra limits himself for the time being to this short film, recorded with a hidden camera. Later on, in several big films, he would return to this subject.
