The video takes us on a poetic voyage around the world, flying, going by train, car, boat and so on, making stops in different cities. A spinning world. Now and then it stops and in comes an animal, mostly cows, moving etremely slowly backwards, accompanied by the water-sound and a man snoring.

"Words waiting at my toungue / then tumbeling out, one after...after the other, in and out and out and in / sometimes they taste so good that I swallow them...
A woman recites a text about the state of melancholy. All the natural pauses are cut out. She performs an inverted strip-tease act.

An absurd soap where the destinies of ten people are entwined in each other. It all takes place in a hotel room and the story is told by the room - the observer. The video deals with the big issues of life - the thin line between sanity and insanity, laughter and cry, truth and lie. It consists of reminiscenses from movies, true life and pure fabricated lies
