Carried by chamanics and cosmics vibrations music, this movie present us Aloual, the fetish actor, in a kind of naked and listless semi-captivity. Sustained by bandages, half floating in the airs, arrowed by glances, this St-Sebastian is the heart of a ritual who combine plastic beauty, Chrisitc's dolor and pagan's voluptuous pleasures.

The paths of eight characters brush against one another, collide, avoid one another, attract one another or clash in the texture of a Super 8 ballet film. Climax attemps to transalte the sensation of a nightmare which, by nature evades reality, fiction and even memory to engrave syncopated, brief, distorded, repetitive and obsessive pictures in our brains. These pictures are those of a murder fantasy.

An action which took place in 1983 at the National Museum of Modern Art (Centre Georges Pompidou), during which Michel Journiac stages a dramatic ritual and publicly brands himself on the arm with a red-hot iron triangle, the mark of the outcast.

An avant-garde short film.
