"An astronaut from an unknown planet wanders through the ruins of a great city, and discovers a rectangular artifact that is of great importance to his society. In a jail tower, an old woman, sentenced to death, is presented with a puzzle by the shadows cast on the cell wall. Two generals from opposing armies meet on the battlefield. They play a game involving small white cubes and long croupier sticks. The game has no descernable rules, but its outcome will determine the fate of millions of people. Seven women drift down a river in the rain. Their raft washes ashore and they dance through the forest, before plunging to the center of the earth through a dark hole. There they find a series of white cubes, and combine them to cause a dramatic transformation." This 'futurist-pirate-ballet' film is shot in brilliant color, with no dialogue or music, only the sounds of the human body, the air and a gurgling river. The total running time is 24 minutes. |
