Movie Description

A taxidermist, a deer farmer and a museum worker live in the environ- ment where the line separating reality and artificiality has become near-imperceptible. In their world, one hunts down deer and boars as well as plastic alligator mannequins, while stuffed animals compete among themselves for the most life-like pose and real-looking gaze. Key exhibits are staged in showcases of fabricated nature, posing against painted trees and plastic snow. Animal eyes are gazing from all sides – dead or alive – they won‘t stop looking at you.
