Surrealist, richly designed animation in which sick Jacob vainly tries to find out how he ended up in an unfamiliar and menacing universe.

Lifelike but surrealist and horror-like animation. The tormented Jacob increasingly sees improbable, robot-like animals appear and expects his doctor to explain the side effects of his medicines. This physician, with an equally threatening appearance, denies every relationship between the pills and his visions, which subsequently appear larger than ever. The lonely road of a man in a grotesque and hostile world.
