Symbiose by Paul Raillard

After a failed experiment, a scientist finds himself sharing his body with a hundred people and seeks to regain his individuality. The film was animator Paul Railard's graduation film at L'École Émile-Cohl (Lyon), directed in 2018.

Symbiose is a well-constructed, well-timed comedy film on how the idea of living together can be improbably twisted and turned to suit personal needs. With its 3 narrative acts clearly defined, it uses a familiar cartoonish design to actually give the message that the multiplication of attached selves and the availability of big machines is not the answer to the communication sought.
