Synopsis
The camera witnesses the preparation, the rehearsals of a play. It captures the faces, the space in which they meet, the voices. It is not about the show, but about the whole creative process that precedes it. Bodies that change, that transform, and that are observed through the gaze of the lens.

In Manhattan's Central Park, a film crew directed by William Greaves is shooting a screen test with various pairs of actors. It's a confrontation between a couple: he demands to know what's wrong, she challenges his sexual orientation. Cameras shoot the exchange, and another camera records Greaves and his crew. Sometimes we watch the crew discussing this scene, its language, and the process of making a movie. Is there such a thing as natural language? Are all things related to sex?
