Using live action clips, still photography and various animation techniques, Richard Williams illustrates a lecture given by Christopher Logue on the human situation. It is a satirical look at humans, their aspirations, and habits. The twin evils of patriotism and nationalism are exposed. (Awards: Mannheim; Annecy)
