Description: The film is a paraphrase of the virtuosity and poetry of the director's creative process: crisis, search, tricks of the imagination, dead ends, intellectual climate, an unbroken flow of subjective and objective. And, of course, the abundance of women surrounding the hero, his illusory harem, in which everyone without exception loves him, although the idyll is interspersed with rebellion, which has to be suppressed with the help of a whip.
