Bizarre abstract stop-motion animation questioning traditional values in a period of great social upheaval.

An unnamed man peacefully sips cocktails at a nightclub. Simultaneously, an identical, unnamed man paints a self-portrait in an abandoned cabin in the middle of a field.

The screen is divided again and again until the picture arranged in ever changing strips bursts into whirring dynamic.

A lensless exploration of hair on 35mm film.
