A woman dashes into a room; you see her from behind. She has a torn dress which she presses to her chest with one hand. She dances. You see her face from somewhat closer by although the camera keeps a suitable distance. The dance is powerful and fierce. The camera angle regularly changes although the suggestion arises that it is turning continually and that there must be a lot of cameras being used. The domestic setting however excludes this possibility. The dancer finally loses her dress and now has her arm across her breasts to cover them. At a certain moment, the dance becomes sensual and erotic, although the eroticism is subjugated to formal dance movements. At one point, the game with the shame of nakedness is gone. The dancer is no longer a dancer but a beautiful woman who looks straight into the camera with her upper torso bared. The original shame now makes her seem even more naked. She is proud. Particularly once her solo is finished and she sweeps up her torn dress from the ground and, with a haughty gesture, throws it over the camera.
