Twelve skits in six minutes: the first one and the final three are about sex, in between are sketches of blood, death, murder, truck crashes, a tough day on the toilet, a slip on a banana peel, and an omnivorous Elvis. In several vignettes, Plympton draws on the essentially comic image of men wearing jackets and ties in a world gone awry. Women, who don't appear all that often, cheerfully participate in the sex and don't hang around for the violence.
The point of departure for this film is the 1981 composition De Tijd by Dutch composer Louis Andriessen.

These images are associations, fragments of events, scenes and situations. The film is preceded by a text by Bert Schierbeek.
