Two women passengers die in a car crash as a result of which the female driver has a leg amputated. The zoologist twin husbands of the dead women are fascinated by the processes of decay, start an affair with the amputee and liberate animals from a zoo. This provocative, funny and stylish film is also a tribute to Vermeer and an exploration of the trauma of loss, man's relationship with animals and the attraction of lists. The wonderful cinematography is by Frenchman Sacha Vierny and the thrilling score is by Michael Nyman.
