The surrealist short presents recurring images of a string woven into a strange, spider‑web pattern draped across the hands of various figures, especially an unnamed young woman and an elderly gentleman. It also features shadowy darkness, off‑kilter camera angles, an exposed human heart and a range of occult symbols and ritualistic motifs, creating an unsettling, dream‑like atmosphere. The work remains unfinished.
