Cockroach, silverfish, human-which is the real pest? The Pests focuses on the human pest, a fearful creature that requires control over all available resources and space, an animal that imposes its own order and supremacy over every other creature. A far-reaching investigation into the perpetual clash between humans and bugs, the film reveals poetic, tortured and thoughtful tales from tenants, fumigators, and zoologists.
