Carrousel
Roos lives, together with her snails, in a park. Like a small, very well-organized system, a small microcosm. The only threat comes from some birds which like to eat snails. That is, until the arrival of two newcomers. While they fall in love, Roos feels attacked. She withdraws into herself and becomes aggressive to defend her way of life, to the point of hurting others. A film about dehumanization.
