Is it because they slither? Or because some are venomous? Or perhaps it is our religious heritage that makes snakes terrifying creatures? While the answer is far from obvious, one thing is clear: many of us are afraid of them, and some are even phobic. Using various cinematic forms, the filmmakers of this documentary humorously explore the question of our fear of snakes and attempt to debunk the many misconceptions surrounding these misunderstood creatures. By questioning humanity's relationship with nature, the film helps us better understand these animals, in the hopes of fostering a better coexistence with them.
