Synopsis

The film was made by cutting together extracts of a graduation film. He sweeps up and puts the stove on in dance rhythm. Then he and a girl declare their love for each other. - There is a long queue in a shop. Instead of money the people are giving rare objects and jewellery for a piece of salami. When a girl that the butcher-profiteer fancies comes to the front he tries to give her a jewels. She dumbly turns her head away, and so the profiteer offers her sausages. The girl stretches out a hand for them and the butcher thinks he has got her now. But the girl has no intention of selling herself for a piece of food, and so there is a struggle between them.
