A darkly humorous black and white tale of a young boy, unable to fit in, finally realizing his calling while watching animals killing each other on nature documentaries. Raw non-sync early effort, interesting as an early and funny example of Buck's forays into continuing themes of painful isolation, suburban disassociation and the inherent violence that can follow.
