Blending fiction and dance, THE LIFE CYCLE OF A GREY ANT is a retro-futuristic ballet that flips a middle finger to modernity.

Caraz is a two-time Gold YDA-winning French-Canadian film director. Her signature style blends high-key imagery, emotional resonance and quirky misfit protagonists. THE LIFE CYCLE OF A GREY ANT is her first short film.
