A man is having a welcome
relaxing drink, when suddenly the earth's crust cracks and opens
up. The crack widens and advances fatally in his direction. He
tries everything in his power to stop the destruction, but soon
realises that he is despairingly on his own.

How to harness the energy
of the stars? Very high temperature plasmas are being produced
by man to study possible ways of exploiting the thermonuclear
energy of fusion. This could provide an inexhaustible source
of energy, which could preserve the environment and remain compatible
with sustainable development. To reach their goals, scientists
have devised strange machines called "Tokamaks". The
film is built entirely upon synthetic images and takes the spectator
on a visit of the installations and finally right into the core
of a reactor of fusion.

Great
Moments in Science: Manhole Cover First in Space · Animation

History books willingly claim
that the first man-made object sent into space was the Sputnik
satellite on October 4th, 1957. This comical film mixes animated
sequences and archives to put forward another theory: that the
first object in orbit was a metal cover from an underground chimney,
blasted off during an American nuclear test. The story tells
that the speed of the cover was greater than that needed to put
an object into orbit around the earth, which is 7 Kms per second.
Take a trip back into the past, the fifties and the legend of
the atom.

This parody of modern society
is an animated film showing town-dwelling animals living in total
indifference with regards to each other. When the death of a
neighbour occurs, the community is upset. It is only then that
a real form of communication is established between them.
