Synopsis
When a man is awoken by something blasting a hole through his front door, he grabs his gun and follows the tracks of what he imagines to be a gas-guzzling, fire-breathing monster. On and on he goes, across land and sea – but whose footprints is he really tracing? Academy Award-nominated animator Bill Plympton wonderfully illustrates this simple fable that subtly condemns the seemingly endless cycle of violence in the world – a cycle we know all too well.
