Imperador Ketchup
Cinematography
Um grupo de crianças vestidas com uniformes militares revoltam-se contra os pais e começam a caçar e a matar adultos. Um grupo de meninas despem-se enquanto cantam: “Quando eu crescer e me tornar numa prostituta…” Silhuetas vão dar à praia e dançam nuas ouvindo o bater das ondas. Duas crianças vestidas de ditadores fazem um jogo interminável de Pedra, Papel ou Tesoura até só um resistir. Crianças privam relações sexuais com mulheres adultas pintadas de branco, enquanto que outras arrastam corpos crescidos pela terra anarquicamente deserta. Tudo isto ao som de Wagner, Stravinski e Tchaikovski.
