At the turn of the 20th century, in a suggestive correspondence spanning nearly two decades, Rosa confides in her friend Giorgina, telling her a secret: the machine-extended mechanical man envisioned by Marinetti is not a near-future concept for mankind, as Futurists purport. It is, instead, a very real present for womankind, and Giorgina can easily order a specimen in the mail. The entire short film was made by re-editing scenes from a number of silent films.

In a dark, velvety theatre there is a first kiss between Pietro and Tommaso. When the lights come back on, however, the two students have different expectations of what might follow. The chaos of awakening desire in its complexity and sensuality is told and made almost physically tangible through looks and gestures, approach and retreat, hope and fear.
