Polycarpe’s wife is livid with him for his incredible laziness. Every morning she has to kick him out of bed. As soon as he gets a moment alone, he falls asleep. There’s a long list of things to do, and she forces him to do them by beating him. Something seems a bit odd, though, because the jobs given to him by his angry wife miraculously get done by themselves. Stop-motion animation adds a surreal touch to the story in contrast to the vivid physicality of the angry female character.

Unfortunately, we know nothing about the background of the energetic actress.
