What can a small - less than three minutes - film do when facing the rest of the world? First of all, to affirm its own identity: this is a direct cinema experience in 16mm, where the images happen one after another in a cacophony of colours and distortion. Then to question itself, in a self-criticism where the film is manipulated with scratches, blackouts and burns, exposing the fragility and ephemerality of film itself, which extinguishes like a brief cigarette.
