A portrait of the nude body of a woman standing on a cornice. The narrative is introduced by Nicolás Guillén’s poem Chant to Kill a Snake, interpreted by the actress Idilia Solari. The soundtrack uses sound landscapes recorded in a mental institution. The narrative elements which constitute the visual poem focus on the pairs of images and sounds which represent the concepts of balance and imbalance, outside and inside, concrete and abstract.
