Валери беременна. Но ее безмерная радость внезапно сменяется тревогой и ожиданием чего-то зловещего. Будто что-то затаилось у нее во чреве и ждет своего часа. Друзья считают, что во всем виноваты гормоны, и с рождением малыша проблема уйдет. Но с каждым днем ее кости хрустят все сильнее, спину буквально разрывает на части, а сон напоминает бесконечный кошмар. И то, что вселилось в нее, никуда уходить не собирается...
Six Easy Pieces is based on the book "Six Easy Pieces: Essentials of physics explained by its most brilliant teacher" by Richard P. Feynman. It brings together the foundations of "Film as the Seventh Art; a superb conciliation of the 'Rhythms of Space' and the 'Rhythms of Time'" by Ricciotto Canudo and "Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting" by Gottfried Leibniz. The work deconstructs film as the perfect synthesis of art and technology. Connecting art and science, it romantically refers to an age when artists and scientists had similar concerns and were often one and the same person.
Antagonist
In Secret Machine, the protagonist encounters an antagonist that is studying her, measuring her body and comparing her to units of space and time. Clocks rush and her movements are calculated on a grid: the eye is observed through lenses; her breath is submitted to a resistance rate by putting her under water; needles are used to quantify her reactions and pain: and her voice and motion are recorded. For the scientist measurement is understanding. While human nature appears confined in the framework and efforts of rationality, the aspiration of trapping the soul conduce the antagonist to imagine the improvable.
