Great frustration about a single negative sentence in a review of his graduation film made Cyrus Frisch embark on this film about self-pity. He invited the reviewer in question, Hans Beerekamp, to be his adversary. Standing beside a projector on which the criticised film is being screened, Beerekamp explains what he doesn't like about the film. Meanwhile the director, brimming with self-hate, tries to drown himself in an aquarium. An experimental film in which the director is on screen for fifty of the seventy minutes.
