A nuclear power plant worker sets a personal limit on the electricity he can consume throughout his life. But how will he cope when that limit is almost reached? This experimental film poem, shot on 16mm, makes a bold statement about the relationship between humanity and nature.

Part of the short film programme THE FEMALE GAZE.
