Duration: 4'
The film is based on the concept that, sooner or later everything that is around us gets old, runs down, and finally breaks. Therefore people are condemned eternally to repair things that, following an inexorable law, will break down into pieces again in the future. This situation is tiring and unnerving, but it is manageable, but suppose that one day the universe follows the same law and begins to break down. This film was entered in competition at the 1994 Berlin Festival.
