The screen is a skin behind which there is a dream world that wants to escape, to break free. Carefully at first, but later at full power, a hammer smashes into that frontier. Sessions of a number of blows form the running theme in this tape. The hammer blows alternate with dream images drowned in ecoline. Hazy colours, portraits with halos, dancing silhouettes and swaying sunflowers contrast with the clarity of the images of the battering hammer. But the dream world is about to snap, brewing with sultriness and desires. Somewhere you hear, just intelligibly: "I have palpitations". Something has to give. The hammer continues at an industrial tempo until the glass finally breaks. The hammer blows are still echoing as the liberated birds fly off, penetrating the space in the depths of the medium.
