A formalist and structuralist look at the changing relationship between artwork, advertising and people since the 1940s. Advertisements from each era are brought to life; art-works are shown in unfamiliar forms; and a picture of life in each decade is painted in anecdotes of the times. Documentary and drama combine to form an unusual vista of the recent past and an opportunity to explore the changing styles and biases of the times.

A drama based on the short story by the existentialist Russian author Daniil Kharms. It is the story of one man who in his own mind has committed no crime and has done nothing, purposefully, to harm another person. However, the deeds and events he describes are far from innocent by general standards. Gut-churning descriptions of past acts are recalled in a chilling monologue as he grooms himself to mirrored perfection. It is when he is finally dressed that the importance of his attitude and his position are finally and significantly registered.
