Ultimately, the Deuce brothers' obsession with decay leads them to the top of the food chain, and to a complex life-and-death negotiation with Alba herself. His true motive is to fashion Alba into a subject of his recreations of Johannes Vermeer paintings Venus de Milo participates in this process, as well. Īlba becomes a subject for the experiments of her surgeon, who eventually amputates her other leg, claiming it is putting stress on her spine.

Excerpts from Sir David Attenborough's TV series Life on Earth, including his narration, are featured in the film. They become obsessed with snails, and they take advantage of their contacts at the zoo to create decomposition videos of more and more complex animals, moving gradually up the food chain. Venus de Milo remains involved with them enough to observe their obsessions grow: they take to video-taping the decomposition of prawns, and they take a personal interest in Alba's childhood, going so far as to ask her to show them a field seen in a photograph on her bedside table. The twins' descent sees them become romantically involved with Alba, and increasingly attached to one another. They begin this latter task with a green apple, bitten into and rotting before their camera lens. Meanwhile, Oswald and Oliver gradually become obsessed with images of growth and decay, watching videos on the origins of life and creating time-lapse video of decomposing life forms. Venus de Milo ( Frances Barber), a prostitute and storyteller who plies her trade at the zoo, attempts to forge a relationship with the twins, ostensibly to help them recover from their loss. The woman who was driving the car, Alba Bewick ( Andréa Ferréol), is not killed, but has a leg amputated. Twin zoologists, Oswald and Oliver Deuce ( Brian Deacon and Eric Deacon), are at work studying the behaviour of animals at a zoo when both their wives are killed in a car accident involving a large swan which crashes through the car windscreen.
