The sci-fi film was shot around the viewer in Maricá, outside of Rio de Janeiro. It is a science fiction film that has no visible human elements or factors, other than the viewer itself. Its time period could be that of a very remote past, or a distant future. Some sequences are filmed as if the viewer were seen from a distance, but without being recognized, as if it were seen by an animal preoccupied only with its search for food. This animal could be a dinosaur or an evolution of an electronic species in a far off future. Shot with a small digital photo camera, the red color of the building saturates the images. The red of the house intensifies the light and color adjustments of the camera. The soundtrack accentuates these effects, creating saturations, revealing the frame. The film is played in a loop. Each repetition is punctuated by redtinted electronic noise, rather than the conventional black screen. The film is projected onto a wall, the room is not quite dark. Its sound is asymmetrical, as both speakers are located on the right side of the projection.
