In the next part of her triptych, Marta Pajek returns to the concept of an impossible figure which, this time, aims to illustrate male-female relationships. Throbbing with eroticism, this animation enflames the senses, stimulates imagination and brings about the thrill of suspense. The characters meet in a meeting room, at the end of a winding hall which looks like a labyrinth. Why have they come here? Did they know each other before? It is irrelevant. The only important thing is the sensual and disturbing play that just starts between them.
