?Chris Wade's fourth art film is a surreal black comedy. One cold autumn, a father and son decided to go to sleep, on perfectly aligned, opposing sofas, to enter the world of their dreams and leave behind what people refereed to as reality. The important question was, would they wish to return from their slumber? Or would they prefer to stay in their dream state?
This beautiful, atmospheric Chilean movie (made by an Argentinian director) was unfortunately "cannibalized" by Jerry Warren, who kept about a third of the original footage, together with another third of "La dama de la muerte" (another superb Chilean movie of the same period, made by Argentinian director Carlos Hugo Christensen), then added his own senseless "additional sequences" with John Carradine and Katherine Victor, the final result being the atrocious CURSE OF THE STONE HAND.
Viola experimental short.

The second part, shot mostly in yellow, depicts compulsive eating, illustrating both the obsession of the body and the desire to escape from it.
