A poetic, enigmatic short film showing an animal dissector who is engulfed by his world of cages, jars, solutions and skeletons. This apparently petrified world increasingly comes to life (again), encircles and ensnares him. Re-animated by the preparator's obsessions, the skeletons begin to rise, the preserved specimens to revive. The frozen world falls back on its preserver until finally an organic connection is established between the dead and the living. The reaction of preserved life with an abundant imagination.
