Two scientists, both professors of their respective subjects, are deeply engaged in a discussion. The contact of their minds creates a flow of new, humoristic and unexpected shapes and transforms their bodies into one form which continuously mutates until everything implodes and disappears in a horizontal line. The sound is digitally processed original sound from the place. The film was shown at Bildmuseet in Umeå in 2007 during the international symposium Polar Productions. The film is distributed by foundation Filmform www.filmform.com
