Summary :
The scene is set from the start : a still shot on a sofa, with a red skirt and two legs. A man then sits down as well. The faces are off screen. And then the action starts. A little teasing, a tiff, a foot lying in wait for its prey, foreplay, etc. : these little actions follow each other and end up in a frantic struggle to stay seated on the sofa. Each one more and more bitterly defends their own territory. Who will eventually overcome ? Although Isabelle FROMENT has left out some of the recurrent formal elements of her video works here, we still find some major elements of her general project : the male/female confrontation, the off-screen elements, the idea of overflow, violent games, as well as mockery and humour.
