La révolution des crabes, a flash-based, black and white short film that offers an irresistible and very personal, vision of Darwin’s theory of the evolution of species. Inspired by philosophy, this revolution of crabs cannot withstand determinism: ‘Born in the mud, Pachygrapsus Marmoratus, you will remain a useless link in the chain of evolution’. Such is the moral of the story told by an anti-conformist crab: it is impossible to transcend one’s destiny. –language on screen
