Four black‑and‑white shorts posed as chemical‑factory safety clips become a layered meditation on life and death, waking and dreaming. A young couple in a socialist plant repeatedly vary actions that deliberately violate the safety rules they are meant to teach, underscored by the refrain “Inhale as much air as possible, to have what to offer.”
