To make this video, Antonin De Bemels used images taken during a photography session at an old palace. There were two naked bodies and walls and dust. The photographer was speaking all the time, telling the dancers what to do. The filmmaker was hidden in a small alcove, silently watching and filming. An intimate relationship came about between those bodies and his. Using digital means, he tried to communicate the sensations and potential meanings that were not captured by the photographer.

"This is happening somewhere. The place is not defined. There is only what we see. Bodies. Beyond the bodies there is nothing." (Antonin De Bemels)
