Of Animals and Men

Of Animals and Men by Jean-Pierre Martinez

Contemporary fables about the world as it is going… and, above all, as it is not going.
Through a series of seemingly self-contained short sketches that nevertheless echo one another, strangely human animals and men on the verge of losing their humanity question their troubled existence and their uncertain future.
A political yet humorous reflection on the fragility of the human condition and on the dangers that threaten our democracy today.
