The origin of THE SMELL OF BURNING ANTS: a film sequence in which two boys fight while a third joins in, also throwing punches. This scene awakened a childhood memory.
The film exploits the desire to anchor this memory, so that it comes to the boy's rescue. The juxtaposition and recontextualization of material from diverse origins - educational films, close-ups of burnt ants, childhood adventures - form the choppy narrative of a young boy's struggle to form his masculine identity.
