All the joys of death in the dirtiest film of the millennium. It is about that "how awful it is to live in a cage, how awful it is to eat the nasty food, and the green elephant calf feels worse than anybody else". Closeness and claustrophobia, a blind love within the woe of the isolation cell deaf walls (an endless source of eternal pleasures), an appeal from the marginal constellations, a recipe for heroism and escape from reality...

Once a talented composer, he's totally lost his gift and cynically buys new music from young composers, then plays it under his own name.
