In collage sequences, the surrogate of synthetic sensuality takes form and seduces the sailors in the guise of a Hawaiian girl. In ritual punctuation, she distributes deaths which seemingly only the hardy siren Fatality can survive. Hula girls, birds, sailors and the Greek god of queers are among those putting in an appearance in this collage of commercialised everyday life, music and the language of Apollinaire. And yet beyond this hidebound life, another one is possible.
