Synopsis
What does an animal see when she looks back at us? Three animals and a woman are in a closed situation in which they have to deal with each other. The camera emphasizes this idea of the animal gaze by filming them intently. As the voiceover narration suggests, the film is premised on the idea that animals observe and judge us. Based on complex thoughts about our relationship with the animal kingdom, the film tackles this huge subject from an oblique angle.

A cinematic performance where all drama is excised and remains invisible. A post-narrative, staged documentary image of an almost deserted pool, a day before its demolition.
