Le film consiste en une série de 36 courts métrages d'une durée comprise entre 30 secondes et 2 minutes environ, chacun inspiré par l'une des strophes du poème. Entre les films, la strophe du film à venir s'affiche à l'écran et est lue par un narrateur ou une narratrice. Comme il est d'usage dans ce type de poème, le premier vers de chaque nouvelle strophe reprend le dernier vers de la strophe précédente. Le premier court métrage montre un groupe de poètes japonais réunis dans une maison et accueillant l'invité d'honneur qui, selon l'usage, compose la première strophe du renku ; c'est le seul à montrer les auteurs du poème. Les films suivants plongent dans l'univers d'images et de sensation évoqués par les strophes du poème. Le poème lui-même ne développe pas d'intrigue suivie ; il contient des éléments d'intrigue, mais ils restent très allusifs. Les courts métrages, de leur côté, ne présentent pas nécessairement une adaptation littérale du poème mais s'en inspirent plus ou moins librement. Les différents courts métrages ne comportent pas de paroles, seulement de la musique et des bruitages. Les techniques d'animation sont extrêmement variées, de même que les styles graphiques et le ton des différents films (ils sont tour à tour paisibles, angoissants, drôles, tristes, etc.). Le film proprement dit est suivi d'un documentaire de making of donnant des informations sur le poème d'origine et sur la production du film.

The short starts in with Remy introducing himself and Emile to the audience and speaking on behalf of oppressed rats everywhere. Emile starts frowning about having to speak out, while Remy pulls a scroll and a two-dimensional animation starts by presenting the relation between a human and a rat in contrast with human-dog and human-cat relationships. Remy points out that humans regarded rats in former times as sacred and luck-bringing. He says that during the Roman Empire if a white rat crosses your path, it brought good luck, while if a black rat crosses your path, it brought bad luck. He moves on to discussing black rats (Rattus rattus) and their connection to the Black Death, pointing out that it was caused by fleas not rats, resulting in the death of one third of Europe's population.
