A slice of reality takes on a nasty flavour when a scene is shown in reverse. In a crowded bar, a man is enveloped in a world of his own. Around him, people chatter and laugh. He is so drunk he can hardly keep his eyes open. After a few minutes, his drowsy look and sluggish movements bring on an awkward high. The film holds a mirror up to the spectator's face, but not everybody wants to look in it.
