An abstract film containing a series of strange and choppy images. A woman, with a witch's symbol on her forehead, stares around a dark room in bewilderment. An artist is seated in the room, string running all around him, over his back. He himself holds a cradle of string in his hands. There are cuts to the same artist and a different woman sitting at a table outside, a beating human heart which stops, and building blocks. The witch's symbol is shown in closeup. There are also a myriad of other images, such as a strange sort of top moving on the floor controlled by string, and a weird circular contraption dangling from the ceiling.
