Friday afternoon, 5 pm. Mother, father and son move in ritualistic cycles through their apartment. The spectator gains insight into their living room, while other rooms in the background remain hidden and can only be grasp acoustically. The homey character of the apartment turns into a reflection of the human psyche. The day-to-day life structure starts to crack open, from beneath the carpet hidden passions enter the surface, aggressions and oppressed aspirations behind drawers and doors get unloaded.
