- DirectorGeneviève HamonJean PainlevéIn mud flats along the coast of Brittany we watch acera, small ball-shaped mollusks that are about two inches in diameter.

We watch them mate and secrete eggs: acera are both male and female, and can form chains with other acera in which they simultaneously mate as a male and as a female. The eggs hatch, and the cycle begins again.In the box set "Science Is Fiction: 23 Films by Jean Painlevé"
