Synopsis: In a dark forest two unicyclists find each other and fall in love. The man’s heart beats and the women’s lungs inhale and exhale. They dance together as they cycle through the forest. The unicycles join and the mechanical workings of the unicycles work together as with the hearts and lungs which join together and work in harmony. The solitary unicyclists find each other and fall in love. Their unicycles work together in harmony.
Inhalt: In einem dunklen Wald treffen sich zwei Einrad-Fahrer und verlieben sich. Das Herz des Mannes rast und die Lunge der Frau pumpt. Sie tanzen gemeinsam, während sie durch den Wald fahren. Ihre Räder und deren Teile stimmen in den Rhythmus von Herz und Lungen mit ein.
