An allegory of mankind heading for disaster, this animated short is a tragic vision inspired by the 4th movement of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Drawing on the composer’s brilliant ability to evoke work and labour in his music, animator Patrick Bouchard brings earth to life through animated clay sculptures, creating a tactile nightmare in which man is his own slave driver.

Um homem solitário trabalha em um alto prédio de escritórios. O único momento fora do comum em sua vida monótona a cada ano parece ser abrir o cartão de aniversário e o presente de sua mãe. Normalmente é um empate, mas um ano é um acordeão. Ele vai para o armário com suas muitas gravatas. Um ou dois anos depois, ele descobre o que acontece com os papéis que processa todos os dias. Sua descoberta o leva primeiro ao último andar do prédio, depois ao seu armário.

As a kid, Leo thought he possessed, like a magician, the secret power to make things happen. As a young man, he certainly knows how to make things happen with women. But as his best friend Krantz would say to him, "Why do you always ask questions you already know answers to?" Leo believes firmly in what he invents from one day to the next. Images, impressions, stories fill his head. That's just how he is: life, for Leo, is just a game. Behind this childlike attitude, hides the very essence of his own life's quest.
