As the earnest narration at the beginning of the film suggests, this is a film that, in a nutshell, looks back on a page of my youth at university by revisiting the few sculptures I made during my two years there. However, the viewer gradually realises that the narrative and the simplicity of the setting are in fact a cynical gag. This is a unique short film that is at once infinitely endearing and profound.
