A surrealistic whim, an experimentally shot initiation into life’s’ imagination. Moa, a home-sitter, kills the ‘why’s’ in people’s lives. From a filmmaker who destroys films, she receives a camera to record her many experiences. She meets different people like a cashier, a soldier, the former projectionist of the Belgian king Leopold III and Henna, a person that breeds chicks. The images were initially shot in Super-8; in the edit they got chemically manipulated and the final result was blown up to 16 mm.
