The scenery slides apart. A stage director gives instructions to her actors. On the set stands a monitor which at first shows documentary pictures (from India?), but later acts a sort of follow spot absorbing the action. Different actors' words sometimes blend together in harmony. The director and the actress discuss vaguely how to fill out the character she is playing, who is suddenly beginning to acquire a mind of her own. It is as if everybody is a copy of everybody else. There is no solid core, either to the story, or to the characters. Feingold plays a gossamer-light game with fiction and reality. What looked at first like a common travelogue about a trip through a desert landscape turns out to be the set for an Indian feature film. Perhaps the desert is also just stage scenery. The various story lines suggest so many tangles to ensnare the viewer, so that he almost loses touch with his own reality.
