The synopsis(in brief) : a woman in a old fashioned interior, sat in front of a young man: both are sitting in tug armchairs. As the scenario unfolds with changes in camera angles, the woman is sewing what appears to be a doll and by the time the audience understand the doll represents and controls the man, the woman cuts off the doll's head.
The concept of the video is a reflection on the notion of reality. Through the metaphor of the voodoo doll, it questions the relationship between the medium video and reality.
Video, as a medium, is understood as a form of the "real". What is revealed through this piece of work is that video is constructed with codes, rules, point of view... The voodoo dool is a metaphor of this medium, a seemingly harmless tool that just translates, expresses reality.
So the story is an encounter with Reality. Reality attempts to take revenge on human via the doll and thus becomes a metaphor for 'reality' within the video medium
