The warm tones of the filmmaker's voiceover speak of the dark feelings before birth, of reversed narrative images feigning the possibilities of reflection and significance, of revelatory silence without echoes, which gives space to the persistent sounds from within. The image is not missing, it is there, submerged in impenetrable darkness. The film ends with one single kiss, which illuminates the screen with desire.
