This movie in the shape of variations questions the border between the western man and the animals. Dominique Loreau went to meet persons and animals which mix in breedings, on the ground of a éthologue, in slaughterhouses, in zoos and museums, in a city, in a room of repetition of dance, during a performance of an actor being transformed into animal. She films the glances of animals on the human beings and those of the human beings on the animals.
