An experimental and baroque homo-erotic study. According to the film-maker life is a parody and cannot be interpreted; excrement is a parody on gold, coitus is a parody on death.The film is not really narrative but follows the cycle of a masturbation fantasy, in which the camera functions as phallus. As the atmosphere becomes more melancholy, the camera becomes more intrusive. Sodomy becomes a ritual admission to another world.By linking the erotic and the melancholy, the film-maker has tried to portray the ideal of beauty and its decay over time in a poetic way with the aid of the poem Ode to melancholy by Keats and the music of Christian Zeal and Activity, performed by John Adams.
