This film documents the "evolution of species" using artistic means – intermingling products of nature with artefacts and live animals. These elements are sorted using the methods applied to collections and the "scientific" publications at the turn of the seventeenth century. The ironic transitions phasing in the individual parts of the film use shots of a human mouth consuming various "morsels". (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
