Synopsis
A loosely constructed narrative based on 9 single-shot scenes in which windows play a central role in the storytelling. A violent vision of American society is offered through scenes of office rage, rape, and gun violence. Using the image of a window as a unifying motif (and in one case, the mind's eye), the viewer is made to negotiate between the internal and the external. Along with the elaborate visual choreography, the camera pans, tilts, and tracks through the cinematographic space, the on-screen protagonists enact their own dramas across different planes of action. Throughout this process, the viewer's imagination is invoked by adroitly exploiting the tension between on-screen and off-screen actions.
