The heart is still beating; the eyes can see, the ears can hear. Nights of the full moon, horror stories, disquiet. The spirits from the past are returning. Death is implicated... and grief.

If you get six when you throw the dice, you can continue to play - so always come up with six! You can advance on as many fields as you have points. White begins. The white pawn advances on six fields and takes the castle. The next pawn takes the bishop. The bishop takes the black pawn. The last pawn takes the black king. You win the game.

The old story with a slight twist: girl meets boy, frozen in stylized monologues, in whirring synthesizers, with the ghostly original sounds and excruciatingly slow camera movements.

"Masculinity" is the subject of this film. Harald, the protagonist, fails in his blind attempt to prove his masculinity at Maria's expense. The Stone Age is over. Is it really?
