「對抗殘酷人生,唯一有效方式是想像力的輕蔑。」
地方小劇團正在排練新戲,業餘演員們放下現實工作「蟲」裝上陣,嘗試將昆蟲們的一生搬上舞台。隨著劇情推進,昆蟲生態系階級分明、爾虞我詐、弱肉強食的種種現實,竟然忠實映射出人間寫照。當幕前幕後、甚至鏡前鏡後的分野逐漸模糊,演員們的意識也起了微妙的變化⋯⋯。
融合恰佩克兄弟劇作《昆蟲生活圖鑑》與卡夫卡名著《變形記》,斯凡克梅耶將二十世紀捷克文學的精華幻化於銀幕之上。物質至上的現代文明中,人類並不是往復推著大石的薛西佛斯,而是貪得無厭地滾著糞土,最終更不幸被其壓垮的糞金龜。作為封鏡之作,斯凡克梅耶架構出可比多重宇宙的戲中戲中戲,為創作生涯劃下格局恢宏的完美句點。

During the rehearsal, the personal lives of the actors blend with the destiny of the play's characters...
