Summary:

One of the most remarkable filmmakers from Holland, Frans Zwartjes created a singular body of work in the late sixties and seventies that typically placed strange mannequin-like figures, seemingly imagined yet clearly with a life of their own, in simple situations that become inbued with angst like a slow spreading stain which ultimately engulfs them in waves of arousal and menace. In this film Zwartjes creates a queasy pas de deux for a fetishist with binnoculars and his model who will forever exist in seperate worlds no matter how much desire may make them signal desperately for a breakthrough.
