In a world of geometric shapes, one square discovers the existence of other dimensions and embarks on a journey to explore them. Along the way, he encounters riots, soldiers, and an abduction plot that threatens the peace of his homeland. With the help of a dream voice and his own determination, the square navigates through various challenges and uncovers the truth about the different dimensions.
Against a background of bluish light, several objects appear: a square, a circle, and a set of rods. As the background color occasionally varies in shade between blue and rose, the objects move around, forming various patterns.
This is a didactic film in disguise. A progression of brilliant geometric shapes bombard the screen to the insistent beat of drums. The filmmaker programmed a computer to coordinate a highly complex operation involving an electronic beam of light, colour filters and a camera. This animation film, without words, is designed to expose the power of the cinematic medium, and to illustrate the abstract nature of time.
One-minute short film, used as a trailer for the Vienna International Film Festival (Viennale).
