An experimental film in one shot about the way music takes hold of the musician. The film shows an extreme close up of the musician's face while he is playing Le Grand Tango, a piece written by Astor Piazzolla for Mstislav Rostropovitch. The piece is ten minutes long, which just fits on the 305 meters of the 35mm filmcassette.
