Édouard Pinto

Protéa is the last film directed by Victorin-Hippolyte Jasset, one of the early film pioneers in France. The hero of this film is a female spy, an acrobatic Mata-Hari, played by his favorite actress, Josette Andriot, who wore a characteristic costume of a close-fitting black jersey, two years before Musidora achieved cult status with her similar appearance as Irma Vep. This final masterpiece reflects Jasset's popular style: rhythmic action, fantastic realism, rich visuals, an anarchistic philosophy, a disdain for psychology, and an attention to lighting that earned him the nickname “the Rembrandt of the cinema". Although Jasset died shortly after completion, the film had considerable success and Andriot went on to make four more films in the series with other directors.

Teddy walks in while a man is about to have his dinner. Teddy interrupts the man every time he wants to eat. When the man runs away angry, Teddy quickly eats his food: frogs. The frogs have their effect on Teddy immediately: he jumps through the house and ends up on the street where he jumps over streets, trees, water and trains. Meanwhile, a growing parade of people follows Teddy, until he can no longer jump and is taken away in a cloth.
