A deliberately oblique, absurdist meditation on performance, documentation, and the gap between representation and reality, set in a desolate off-season hotel.

At a Greek hotel in the off-season, a chambermaid, a man obsessed with BMW cars, and a photo-store clerk attempt to film and photograph various badly re-enacted struggles between a man and a woman.
