Conceived, drawn and animated live by a team of patients from a psychiatric clinic, this achievement presents, in the eyes of its author, less interest on a purely cinematographic level than on that of human experience. It is the disturbing wordless story of a woman and a man living in a strange setting where objects are endowed with life that they have chosen to tell us through this theater of shadow puppets in cut out figurines. Their characters will know a tragic fate since carried in the air by balloons, they will finally be devoured by a horrible dragon.
Directed by René Laloux and Jacques Brissot

Oah ça m’a tellement angoissé attention c’est pas du tout léger et rigolo comme l’affiche faisait penser (j’aurais du lire le synopsis)
