Producer
The life of human beings, seen from birth to old age. Only that this generic life is not represented with humans, but with the artefacts that we the humans have created for our children (or should we say ‘cubs’?), in order to prepare them for life: the toys. So, the film is a collage of scenes in which the toys help us understand better a possible essence of our life.
Producer
Based on an idea by Eisenstein, who dreamt of composing the 101 poses of Robert Macaire – a popular French character epitomizing the unscrupulous swindler – as represented in the 101 lithographs of the series Caricaturana by Honoré Daumier. First, a montage of the gestures as Eisenstein envisaged. Then, original texts are added to the caricatures. And finally, we took the liberty to use them as a commentary to some current news.

Em 29 de junho de 1941, os judeus da cidade de Iasi, na Romênia, foram presos e agredidos, tiveram suas lojas e casas saqueadas e a maioria dos homens foram alvejados ou amontoados em trens, onde morreram asfixiados. Enquanto os alemães participaram desse massacre étnico, a maior parte dos perpetradores eram policiais, militares e civis romenos. Com uma abordagem radical e reduzida, o filme lista os nomes daqueles que morreram, ilustrando-os com fotos de passaportes e álbuns de família, enquanto relatos são ouvidos através de uma narração. Por meio da repetição, do acúmulo e da variação, os cineastas tornam palpável a escala da atrocidade e dão forma concreta ao número de vítimas.
