Una serie de individuos mudos plasman visualmente sus pasiones y traumas. Especie de preludio artístico de lo que sería posteriormente la película "El planeta salvaje". Se trata de una pequeña producción de muy bajo presupuesto cuyo guión, escrito por Laloux y Topor, fue inspirado por los internos de un centro psiquiátrico.

Un joven Laloux, inmerso en el mundo de la pintura y las expresiones artísticas, ingresa como monitor en la clínica psiquiátrica Cour Cheverny de París, en 1955. Los espectáculos teatrales -marionetas y mimo- realizados por los mismos internados, son el reparto y guión para su cortometraje sin diálogos "Les dents du singe" (Los dientes del mono). El film se realiza con la colaboración del estudio ofrecido por Paul Grimault. La música la conduce Maurice Ohana y el corto se presenta en algún que otro festival amateur. La provocación de su obra por un sobreuso de un surrealismo denso, consigue la atención del público y de la crítica.
