Appearances: a siren, a Hawaii girl, two sailors, an old bird, a young bird, two further sailors, the Greek god Tunte, an ancient American star, a Russian silent film mother and a nymph of German Romantic. As follows, the authors describe their ironic, irritating, and alienated film collage: Without being punished, our aim is to reinvent the poetic reality / describe other forms of life / to devise new worlds / new humans, new hermaphrodites, whatever comes to our minds / we postulate the identification of the spectator / his moral engagement in situations that are beyong good or bad and that nebulise the checkpoints and constants of his world view / we introduce the spectator to a psychic no man’s land.”

Raoul Hausmann: In the principle of a collage, different layers overlap. Sectors and quotations in the commercialised every day life and music, noises, sacred gongs, Hawaiian music, Schuricke-melodies, Musette-waltz, Burmese chant and cultic Ketchak-rythms and language – literary texts by Apollinaire, which also make use of the procedure of quotation, phrases from the world of American show business and the complains of a Russian silent film mother […]. Satire, the grotesque, the caricature the clown and the doll appear; and its the aim of this form of expression to present an other life to us, by depicting the mechanising of life, the apparent and real consolidation.”
