An airport, a place of waiting and suspension, a sealed chamber that lives just in passing. Announcements and electronic sounds mark the passing time, overwhelmed by the powerful roar of the engines. Regardless of the flow surrounding him, a worker is tirelessly putting his shoulder to the wheel. Then a jangle distracts him, high above all others: an obsessive decoy that takes hold of him and forces him to confront his own position as a man, calling for a vital decision.
