The material for this movie was collected over a period of four years, before being processed into 28 minutes of domestic mayhem. Consumed by the animal life of the city, the film maker undertakes a first person journey, reading out diary notes from the most skilled lens masters of the new generation. The camera is her companion in this duet of death, the instrument that permits her to see the impossible, the unbearable, the invisible.
