Plot summary

An experimental film completely without dialogue or actors. Supported by associative images and music, performed by saxophonist Mats Gustafsson’s group The Thing, the film asks existential questions like: What right does man have to pose as God's representative and see Earth as his own? What right does man have to kill animals? Why did God distinguish a difference between animals and men?
