Synopsis

A black-and-white portrait of septuagenarian French filmmaker Jean-Marie Straub. Straub, viewed from one side, sits on a grave in Montmartre Cemetery. While the scenery remains clear, the image of Straub gradually blurs, indicating his slight movements as successive frames are laid over each other.
