Based on selected philosophical essays by Oksana Zabuzhko.

The director of the film interprets the philosophical text and the feminist tone of the author's view of national consciousness in the space of cultural turmoil, creating an associative fabric of juxtaposition of expressive image and commentary.

At the beginning of the film, a young, beautifully dressed woman enters the pavilion. She is met by two dwarfs. They suspend her by her legs and arms from the ceiling with cables, undress her, and begin to play with her "crucified" body. Meanwhile, a text from the Chronicles of Fortinbras is read off-screen. In fact, it is a filmed performance in which a metaphorical generalised woman finds herself in a "suspended animation" and falls victim to the cruel and senseless games of the lowly masters of life.
