The film is about the revolt of a thirty-year old man who renounces his previous way of life when faced with the threat of death during an earthquake. He sets off in quest of everything denied to him until now. His first thoughts are of Eva, his best friend's girl, with whom he has long been in love. The relationship which he forms with her comes to an end because of his failure to respect her personal space. After a period of intense loneliness, they give the affair another try, only this time they set up a "ménage à trois". His cinematic fantasies, however, remain his sole refuge, as he still has not learnt how to make himself heard and get what he wants. The only thing he knows for sure is that it is time he starts living, in the real sense of the word.

In 1962 Philip Corner, one of the most prominent members of the Fluxus movement, caused a great commotion in serious music circles when during a performance entitled Piano Activities he climbed up onto a grand piano and began to kick it while other members of the group attacked it with saws, hammers and all kinds of other implements.
