From the left-overs of the films Henri Plaat made during his many travels, he made this film as an improvisation on deterioration and decay. Observation of ruins, coloured surfaces, and light and shadow alternate with portraits of elderly people or dead animals. A world in decay, but also a world of nostalgia, full of signs of time past, of how people created and lived, before it all falls apart again when relationships dissolve and lives evaporate. The film was restored and scanned for digitization from the original 16mm print by Eye Filmmuseum in 2020.
