A special short by John Smith about a man who suddenly seems to see a black tower in the streetscape. As if it has never been different, but he only notices it now. The film is told in its entirety with a voice-over. A man who observes and gives free rein to his thoughts. It also turns out that he is the only one who sees the tower. A tower that sometimes also disappears and pops up elsewhere.
I think the ending explains something, but there may be other theories. The man would suffer from hallucinations, but - I was waiting for the moment - when he entered the tower, he would die. I'm looking for it more as a kind of metaphor about suicide.
Despite the repetitive character, it is compelling enough through the mystery. Pleasant British voice also that John Smith.
