Starting from Anne Carson's "The gender of sound", the film plays around with the trope that classically associates women with irrational and uncontrolled outflow of sounds, more similar to the monstrous than the human — the opposite of rational, self-controlled, moderate in speaking man. Employing unpleasant sounds, high-pitched shrieks, and guttural groans, the film explores stages between femininity and animality.
