SOUP takes us into the microcosm – a parallel world with its own beings, laws and possibilities. That world is invaded by a large number of blue particles. While performing their everyday life, the inhabitants of a microcosm bump into these intruders. This holds a different fate for each of them. When one of the inhabitants investigates the particles’ source, a change of view reveals their origin. Inspired by the bacteria Ideonella sakaiensis, this short film deals with a new ingredient in the soup of life.
