Synopsis

In three short episodes, "The Wings," "The Whip" and "The House," the plot of which is a vicious circle, the author testifies to man's vain effort to break the circle of his fate. For example, in "The Whip," a man tames an animal with a whip. The more human the animal becomes, the more beastly the man becomes. In the end, the man becomes a beast, and the beast becomes a man. The animal-man takes the whip, and everything is repeated. Et cetera... et cetera... et cetera.
