At Rome’s gates an ancient house overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its grim owner trumpets patriotic
slogans from its terrace while the local priest shoots anything beyond his comprehension. Joined
by a choir of African immigrants peasants indulge in Hegelian thinking while the donkey Balthazar
lays out a philosophical discourse on man and nature.

MIDAS’ ANTS is a cinematic research for the crystallisation points in human history at which our
ideas of nature have transformed. Represented by amateur actors whose roles, based on their
own characters, are intertwined like vignettes, a dream world unfolds. The 75’ film untangles the
dichotomy human/nature with playful seriousness, but surely will make you laugh.
