Hyas et Stenorinques plot

This film is about three animals: Hyas, Macropodia and large fan worms - two crustaceans and a worm. They all have a surprising, spectacular body and structure. Jean Painlevé's short documentary is a surreal exploration of spider crabs in their dramatic struggles and gracefully camouflaged seaweed costumes.
