Les Films Paul Grimault

One, Two, Three is a collection of three vignettes, entitled “The Shower,” “The Bird” and “The Machine.” They each place a doughy, confused man into a frustrating situation.

A young shepherdess and a chimneysweep plan to get married and escape the clutches of a tyrannical king in love with her, assisted by the guile of a cheeky mockingbird, the king's archenemy.

The cruel Professor Savantas invites himself into an oasis cut off from the world to recover a huge diamond, which is the totem of the indigenous population and the keystone of the magical balance of the place.

A slow and ugly fairy tale based on the drawings of inmates at a psychiatric clinic where LaLoux worked.

In Paul Grimault's satire of the arms trade, the dealer is alerted to the breakout of war by a signal on his map, so travels in turn to each of two warring countries (his journey is traced for us on the map), selling to each the means of destroying its neighbour. —The Cine-Tourist

What is man? Man makes war, man kills man, man hunts, man is executed. A montage mixing original drawings by Topor, original shots and stock shots that ironically analyze what man is.
