- DirectorEmmanuel van der AuweraThe Sky Is on Fire presents a hypothetical digital ruin of a virtual Miami street.

- DirectorJean PainlevéExamines the sea horse, the only fish that swims upright. We watch it use its prehensile tail to wrap around plants and other sea horses. A frontal bulge houses organs including an air ballast. Three fins propel this fish. We see a female place her eggs in a male's pouch where they are fertilized and nurtured until birth in violent contractions. Inside the pouch are nurturing blood vessels. We then follow the growth of an embryo, greatly magnified: we examine its heart beating and its dorsal fin moving. Young sea horses attach themselves to each other. The film ends with images of many sea horses moving on the ocean floor, superimposed on a horse race.
- DirectorPang-Chuan Huang"What were you doing while I took this photo when the train passed through your house last year?" Carrying a picture taken in the train a year ago, the director comes to the same spot, asking those who appeared in it the question. Usually, the answer is negative. In a year, things have changed, but time was captured on film and the memories were sealed in it.
- DirectorGeneviève HamonJean PainlevéAn octopus slithers into a narrow crack near the shore; we see its eye up close; blowing water propels it through water. It feeds on a crab. In spring it's time to mate. A male grabs a female; he inserts his third arm in her respiratory cavity. We watch another pair: a larger female is the aggressor here. Mating is repeated over hours and days. With high magnification, we see many sperm; she releases strings of fertilized eggs that hang from the roof of a nest. She guards it for a month, fanning the strings to circulate water for oxygen and cleanliness. We watch the eggs up close develop at 1,400 times nature's rate. Then they're born and propel away.

- DirectorGeneviève HamonJean PainlevéAfter a comic introduction, we look closely at a shrimp. Eyes on stilts, color patterns, pinchered walking feet, a rostrum. We watch shrimp eat using a strong claw and a fine one; we watch digestion. After eating, shrimp clean themselves. The female lays eggs that cling to her feet. After three weeks, the eggs hatch explosively. Few larvae live to adulthood. We watch an adult shed its carapace with a final leap, leaving it vulnerable; other shrimp attack.
- DirectorJean PainlevéPopular science descriptions of two marine crustaceans, both of whom camouflage themselves in found objects, moving, eating, interacting.
