Head teacher Irina is writing a film script but needs some help finishing it. Olga arrives, bringing a cast of characters with her, each one a part of a metaphorical labyrinth that enables a fantastical movie to emerge.

Dancing
A Bird appears, dances and departs. The Bird is based on a linocut print by the filmmaker. The sound, which was created using vocalisations and musical instruments, is a homage to Jacques Offenbach.
