SUPERIMPOSE: What would be left of our tragedies if an insect were to present us his?
Emil Cioran
The letters start to disintegrate, like dozen of ants scooting across the screen. One of the letters transitions in an actual insect.
INT.THIRD WORLD HUT'S FLOOR - DAY
A little insect BUG looks up at a window beckoning in a relative distance. The rainbow colored curtain lazily flows in a gentle breeze revealing greenery that stands in contrast to dark interior of the hut.
Bug uses its 6 spidery legs to maneuver between two barefoot human feet. Bug freezes for a moment when a stomping feet casts a shadow over it. One of its legs is marginally stuck under the heel of the feet, but Bug keeps pulling until it is free.
Bug moves from the mud floor to a relative safety of a spread out crimson red fabric. It continues its climb through the peaks and valleys of the material. At some point it even slides down on its back only to climb up and repeat the joyful ride down once again.
Suddenly, Bug lands in some sticky substance. It manages to escape, but then lands into yet another puddle of strawberry jam like goo. It pauses.
After gathering its strength, it attempts a successful lounge from the trap. Bug is catapulted onto a dark brown surface that is revealed to be a young WOMAN's face.
Bug slowly crawls around her half open barely breathing lips and positions itself near her eye.
Despite her eye blinking quickly, having detected an unwanted sensation, Bug remains in its spot, waiting.
Suddenly, the woman's eyes roll, blink and close in peace.
It's Bug's cue to keep moving. It is now relatively close to the window. Bug climbs up the curtain, hanging on to the fabric's threads Tarzan-style.
It manages to do a final lounge into the air and towards the light outside. Bug continues a free style somersault only to land outside on something feathery.
It is indeed a hen. The hen's head turns around, spots Bug and lounges towards the insect, its open peak first.
Bug rolls over the hen's back completing a final somersault. Once on a ground, it quickly picks up speed and disappears between leaves covering the area.
