Synopsis
A slighty-built beatnik cavorts and clowns his way through everything he does. In contrast, a stout black woman moves around her apartment naked, expressing vitality in all of her actions, whether shaving with an electric razor, making a telephone call, or playing with her cat. She fights affectionately with the beatnik; and later, after a grotesque ball, the two embrace and collapse amidst the disorder of her apartment.
