The suspense is growing and the image changes into a female body with the sounds from the background. A

The mechanical measurement of time presented by a non-functioning clock is the background for the circling of the camera, and thus for the measuring of time. Noises of hammering and of editing procedures are heard in the background. The circling of the camera rhythmically cuts the frozen image. The suspense is growing and the image changes into a female body with the sounds from the background. A movement of the prone body, like the stretching of a ballerina's legs gives the impression of lightness, which is emphasized by the upside down shot and the rhythm of the camera, and accompanied by the heavy sound of an iron drawer closing.
