[1] The film tells the story of Edmond, an unhappy office worker who discovers his true nature after his coworkers play a prank that involves forcing him to wear donkey ears.

Nevertheless, he decides to wear the donkey ears from now on, reinforcing colleagues’ beliefs he was mentally ill. His wife initially thinks it was just a funny, temporary quirk of his, but things get serious as Edmond obtains a tailor-made pair donkey ears made out textiles, including a proper strap for securing the headpiece under his chin.

[clarification needed] In the subway station the crowds, dubbed with the sound of running horses, stampedes Edmond.

Having returned to his familiar workplace, alone in the archives, Edmond hastily assembles a pair of paper donkey ears again and puts them on, ultimately giving him relief.

There are no mature dialogs, but the voices of staff, Edmond’s superior, his wife, continually comment on the depicted action as the narration progresses.

Edmond’s fantasies, however, and people appreciating his dreams show a broader range of colors, without being too flamboyant, leave alone being cartoonish caricatures.

In the living room of Edmond and his wife a small portrait photo of MLK Jr. hangs on the wall, a reference to ostracism as a topic and the struggle of overcoming it.
