The camera watches a lion behind bars and a man in front of it feeds the animal. From time to time he wants the attention of the lion who sticks his paw through the bars.
The Lumière Brothers, Louis and Auguste, were not present while this little film was shot; one of their workers brought the camera along. Like all these shorts this one is interesting for its historical value. Watching something as old as this, a lion long gone, is sort of special. Also, it must have been pretty spectacular then, a pretty huge lion on a screen. Since it plays for not even a minute you will not be bored. Quite interesting.
