Will curiosity shorten the cat's life expectancy?

A plump and exuberant monk goes fishing, and a playful fish eludes him. First the monk uses a rod and reel, then a net; over and over, he ends up fish-less and wet. Sleepless, he tries luring the fish at night with a bank of candles. He tries a bow and arrow. The tireless and insouciant fish leads the monk through a viaduct, over irrigated steppes, across cisterns, down canals.

Beautiful short about a day in the life of a bored apartment cat. Overweight and without affection, it escapes in an attempt to run after birds outside.

An unlucky driver gets a flat tire in a particularly bad neighborhood. No sooner had he stepped out of his car than he was approached by menacing strangers holding a knife to his nose. The man fled and took refuge in a building, blocking the front door. The siege of the building begins.

A young man looks out of his window, trying to see the stars. The city is too bright, preventing him from doing so. Disappointed, he decides to leave the city. His car journey takes him to a hill that he considers ideal. He sets up his tent there. He is happy.

A character with a sad, "lost" look gets on a bus with a pizza in his hands. He is almost seated when the driver brakes suddenly. His pizza flies out of his hands and falls to the floor.
