Subtitled, "A Non-Objective Study," the film consists of pictures hand-drawn directly onto clear film. First we see pink dots or wafers moving across a yellow background, zipping past each other, occasionally striking each other with a "f-f-f-f-t" sound. One dot crumbles. They move in pairs, or threes. A pink squiggle appears and disappears, then a triangle. The pink dots dominate. Then, from the bottom of the frame, a large triangle thrusts up, pushing all aside.
