Logline
TERRARIA
Like an animal, a man crawls carefully on his hands and feet through the shallow water of a swamp. He is in search of snakes. The cold-blooded reptiles are his substitute for the human company he does not care for. He lives alone and secluded in his apartment. This documentary observes his silent affection for these fascinating animals. He lets his snakes slowly and reverently wrap themselves around his body, lies down with them in a bathtub filled with water, and feeds them mice he has bred himself.
