Description:

Early one morning, a procession of people walk through the streets protesting the industrialists, trade unions and the French government that decided to amend their unemployment benefit.  Their cries wake a funny little man who inhabits the comic that is the underlying theme to the film. The man runs to the window and notices that the crowd of people resembles a procession of clouds. Clouds can bring either problems or solutions, and as more clouds arrive others leave.

It is a poetic and slightly eccentric idea. But for our character, this idea becomes an interesting thought: can we establish an analogy between clouds and social movements?
