Title from data sheet

An animated art film in which swaying and pulsating colored beads are used to depict the evolution of combat and weaponry up through the world's obliteration by nuclear warfare

A single bead multiplies into two beads. From there, they continue to expand, turning into Atoms which eventually transform into creatures. These creatures magically ingest each other then mutate into other mythical beings. The chronological arrangement demonstrates how civilization has dealt with conflict inspired by creatures of the past, only now with the advancement of technology.
