Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream People Call Human Life
Stephen Quay, Timothy Quay, Weiser Quay, 1995

Jakob is a young man who enters a school, run by brother and sister Johannes and Lisa Benjamenta, which trains servants. The teachers emphasize to the students that they are unimportant people. Jakob finds the school to be an oppressive environment, and does not enjoy the lessons in subservience that he receives. He proceeds to challenge the Benjamentas and attempts to shift their perspectives.
