So it goes
The film is about being 'in movement' and being 'static' in the form of poetry and music.
Does everybody stop to dance with the time?
Does the time kill the love, the dream?
What can we do?
At one point our character says:
"Maybe I am wrong, maybe everybody stops to dance with the time, maybe, maybe, maybe, but I need to try, I need to see, I need to dance... again."
- The film was an essential part of the contemporary-art installation which reflected the russian avantgardist opera 'Victory over the Sun' -
