A monologue accompanies images of the artist at home performing routine domestic tasks. Her voice constructs an elaborate family biography, where banal events relentlessly lead to confrontation. The meditation on sexuality, fear, pain and death, presented in bizarre combinations, seduce the viewer into taking on the vicarious role of psychological voyeur.
