The film equivalent of 'watching paint dry' - for the first half hour of this art house black and white film by Chantal Ackerman, a girl (Ackerman herself), in a almost empty room, lies on the bed, eats sugar, writes letters, and gets naked. Later, hitch-hiking, she is picked up by a truck driver, and finishes up at the house of a girl-friend where they have sex. It's very slow, but almost hypnotic, almost.
