A sensationally colourful nighttime drive. A sculpture is circled, treetops seem to dance and fireworks explode on high. Seductive, yet distant images. The relentless soundtrack reinforces the sense of nighttime wandering, sometimes very directly and inescapably, then dying away or muffled as if behind a nightclub door. Cinema and music become a sculpture rich in hidden political references.
