On the planet Ygam, the Draags, extremely technologically and spiritually advanced blue humanoids, consider the tiny Oms, human beings descendants of Terra's inhabitants, as ignorant animals. Those who live in slavery are treated as simple pets and used to entertain Draag children; those who live hidden in the hostile wilderness of the planet are periodically hunted and ruthlessly slaughtered as if they were vermin.

Unique visuals and world building help to immerse you into this film that feels so alien you need to watch it at least once.

Visually breathtaking French film that was leagues ahead of time. The eerie, minimalistic score was a perfect match for this strange world.

Entertaining post-hippie insanity that touches on themes that are still relevant today, & sadly will be til the end of time.

An interesting sci-fi movie about humans being slaves and pets for an alien species that slowly rebels against them.
