An intimate, worldly self-portrait where the human body serves as a sign of the times. A dialogue with time, place and the individual himself; the sameness of society and the individual; a social and psychological document. An emotional experience recorded in a memory before in leaves the play of imagination while passing from one orgasm to another; art as a process in the achievement of a goal; man as a part of nature; the body as the only free zone for an individual to express himself in the totalitarian regime of communism and capitalism; cinema as a language that allows recording the transition from one condition to another. A syntheses of art (music, painting, poetry, photography).
