The Pests is a documentary film about us, the pests and our need for order. A human being is a creature that organizes. Creating order is our way of insuring the continuity of life. A pest however – be it a silverfish, a cockroach or a pharaoh ant – does not follow this human order. They do not respect the human domicile; they invade our homes whether we like it or not. The Pests draws a portrait of the human being, our tolerance and the order of things.
