Outline
Still life pictures, motionless people, obscure spiral staircases, and metronomes, that act as slow chronometers. One after the other, painting-like sceneries emerge. In this film, time stands still and moments are everlasting. The nameless characters turn into numb figures, surfacing and disappearing like mental tatters. The protagonist is trapped and strays through a confusing construction of thoughts, finally losing herself.
