   A young woman -- Miss Boissonas -- sleeps, walks, lies,
   or sits at the bottom of a huge metal cylinder which
   fills the entire screen. The camera, in a fixed position
   throughout, is suspended from above the cylinder along
   its central axis and points downwards. There is a hole
   at the bottom and side of the cylinder, from which water
   or sand sometimes flows to submerge the young woman
   who remains passive throughout. For minutes on end
   there is no action; she is either immobile or changes position only slightly. No camera movement occurs during the
   13 "scenes". The "events" of this provocative, oppressive
   example of minimal cinema repeat themselves. The film
   is circular and has no temporal progression. Its minimal
   form becomes a metaphor of the human condition.
