Constructed as a visual simile, Sherman's film utilizes a water faucet as the central image in a mysterious vignette that subverts conventions of causality and temporality. Alternating between interior and exterior locales and the stylized actions of a man (the filmmaker) and a woman, the film is rhythmic in an almost musical way, developing images of water from glass to tub to ocean, through clusters of oppositions such as water/fire, man/woman, turning on/turning off, inside/outside. At the end, the protagonists achieve unity and stasis as they sit together on bentwood chairs facing the ocean.
