Produced in the United States during the Gulf War, this tape creates an alternative network from a number of sources: political activists, performance artists, historians and poets. These "foreign correspondents" invade CNN's broadcasts of the war with their own analyses of events.

During the special Carpenter session organized by the Molokino, the sentence is launched: "You better fuck rather than jerk off." The man with the invective comes out. Fred fucks, the same evening, to show off in the same place the following week. Action reaction. If it happens that we keep our socks to practice the act, love can only be done in underwear. I thought about. Do I have to show my ass? What if I preserved myself from the contaminating image? A pornography of simplicity. Holy and healthy doll, moral plastic and fashion.

An afternoon in August. Arata gets a ticket to stay at a high-rise hotel in Shinjuku. He invites his friends, Kenji and Mayu, to stay in his luxurious room overlooking the city of Shinjuku. When they leave in the evening, Arata calls his girlfriend Kay-chan.These are the young people of today, hedonistic and carefree. The camera never leaves the room and continues to show their actions, which are neither acted nor improvised, in long takes. In an ambiguity that is neither drama nor documentary, the film depicts the "unconcerned relationships" and "unimportant moods" of men and women who pass the time in a casual manner. For better or worse, the film realistically depicts the state of today's youth. PFF Award 1991 Grand Prix nominated work.

"Catch the voices, phrases...Experience a confusion that is Jewish in soul, youth at heart."
