THE
FLAVOR
OF
LIFE

A film by
Valérie Pouyanne

By visiting three animal shelters and listening to their stories, we notice that animals are not so different from us: intelligent, sensitive, supportive, stubborn and even liars at times.

However, we treat them as inferior and to satisfy our needs we put them through lives of misery.

What if we imagined another way of living with animals?
