This experimental short film, initially titled "Relax," draws inspiration from Cecil B. DeMille's "King of the Kings." Featuring footage from the earlier film, it incorporates a hypnotic voiceover repeating the word "Relax." The short's original working title was itself a reference to DeMille's filmmaking process. It was presented only once, in Paris, at the L’Étrange Festival, as part of the opening for "Lux Æterna."
