Against the backdrop of a brutalist villa, this film explores the relationships between six characters: the sets, the music, the Foley, the special effects, narrator and author. Grappling, wrestling and dreaming with one another, they battle for control of the film. Like Cardew before her, Gibson’s forays into narrative and character are the remarkable results of a search for new and egalitarian modes of production.
