Description: A microscopic close-up study of the common garden snail. Supplementing it the pictures themselves is a distinct commentary. Close-ups and microscopic shots show the snail in minute detail. Even the four feeders, the eyes, and the tongue are easily visible. The film shows how the snail prepares for sleep, how he feeds, travels, climbs. Embryonic snails are shown.
