Description:
At the beginning of the film we hear an organ performance of J. S. Bach's "Air" and see a close up of static musicians back. As the camera zooms out and the musician switches off the organs' air pump, the sound of the piece breaks until it disintegrates into a noisy pattern of keyboard and pedal clicks concluding with silence. We discover that the organ-player, shown in full now, is performing a set of convulsive movements and that she resembles a puppet attached by strings to the gigantic instrument. (Mara Traumane)
