What do old bears dream of?

À quoi rêvent les vieux ours?

Synopsis

Meanderings through a city and associations between sequences of animals enclosed in zoos and their depiction in furniture and objects. Notes on language customs, confinement, abnormal behaviour, nostalgia for savagery, a museum of natural history and male-female relations. Filmed in Super 8 and video, this tape was produced after the famous case of a Japanese cannibal that rocked the Parisian media.
