This film without words is composed of Pamela Bone's unique photograhic transparencies. Her talent has been said to 'push photography beyond its own limits, liberating it to the status of an entirely creative art form.'

It took Miss Bone twenty years to find the right technique and so overcome the limitations that photography would impose.
