In “The Curtain”, Kundera said that History (the one of Humanity) has the bad taste to repeat itself; whether art is here to create its own story. In the French language, l’histoire means both History and story. In our modern time but also since the beginning of human history, we are used to both anthropomorphic and natural catastrophes leading to (partial) destruction. The difference between all is the story that we are transmitting afterward. 

The movie was shot with a widefield microscope under a 20 X and 40 X objective lens. Audio track reflecting the stories that Amoebae told 8 spectators from France, Germany, Israel, Palestine, Spain, and Italy. The Audio track translation can be found in the field notes.
