The Snails
Directed by René Laloux
Produced by Société des Films d’Art et de Culture
A darkly whimsical stop-motion fable about futile labor and cosmic indifference, told through the struggles of an isolated farmer on an alien world.
In a distant planetoid, an industrious but hapless old farmer strives to make his vegetables flourish, however, to no avail.
