The film, which features objects based on found items, shows surreal, deserted landscapes in which the objects seem to observe and follow each other. The images, composed like a dream with breaks and illogical repetitions, are reminiscent of surveillance scenarios, while the rough sound collages by English composer and Stockhausen student Cornelius Cardew reinforce the impression of menace and coldness.
