A free form film poem. Moving through inside and outside spaces Luisa Cividin unties a knot made with two curtains. Followed by Roberto Taroni smoking until he starts to turn around his axis, first in front of the window with the now re-tied curtains and then in slow motion seemingly in front of some stairs. A 70s enigma.
