It opens with a reflection on the atmosphere emergency, as she collectives with glass, oil and water. This careful minute appears to trigger a cross examination of the finish of a relationship through the perspective of the characteristic world, with preliminaries of adoration give a role as flames, torrential slides, roses and that ever-present water, with its derived potential for support or suffocating.
