Male and female voice-overs clash in telling the biographical story of an artist. The film returns to the same cycle of images and scrolling texts to reveal that a person’s story can depend on who is telling it.
Moški in ženski glas se spopadata pri pripovedovanju biografske zgodbe umetnice. Film se vrne v isti cikel slik in drsenja besedil, da razkrije, da je človekova zgodba lahko odvisna od tega, kdo jo pripoveduje.
