Synopsis:
The film is open to a variety of interpretations. It shows two girls dancing together in a rundown park. Nature looks on. The scene is not as charming as it first appears.
The music – Argentinian tango – has an aggressive quality, the girls are dressed in fur, and in the background we hear the peal of a hunting horn.
