Day comes, night falls. The neon lights in the breeding station dim in the never-ending rhythm. Still blind and naked, the sixteen little bodies of the newborns climb over each other. Nearby, a pack plays on the back of the exhausted looking mother. A shelf wall full of cages - delivery room and home at the same time. After only three weeks, childhood is over and the rats enter the path that research has laid out for them. Ambivalent relationships develop between the animals and the scientists, as fleeting as they are surprising. GENE:SIS offers a completely new perspective on the world of laboratory rats and invites reflection on the relationship between humans and animals.
