Two 360° travelling shots describe the space of a room as a succession of still lives: a chair, some fruit on a table, solitary, waiting objects.

Glimpsed within these movements, one sole presence: a young women sitting on a bed. The third shot stops in mid-course, to reverse its movement and reframe the young woman who is eating an apple.
