Acariens Cannibales

Do you know what is going on at night in your mattress? ACARIENS CANNIBALES airs this and other inner-bed secrets by using state-of-the-art microscopic cameras to truly get into mattresses. Once there, they uncover the world of killer mites, little eight-legged aliens that not only live from tiny bits of dead skin but also from each other. This is their first appearance in public in 25,000 enlargement. Thierry Berrod's commentary plays with the viewer. Sometimes he gives us goosebumps by going on literally ad nauseum about the less-than-appealing images he is showing us, at other times he gives us a breather by cracking a dry joke or two. This documentary, part two of the French series entitled SQUATTERS and devoted to the topic of parasites, has garnered a number of awards.
