The film is a performance that is a classic of German expressionist
dance. This plastic narrative is subordinated to the change of seasons:
autumn, winter, spring. There is no plot and history here, but there is
a collage of alternating scenes-associations and moods. The action takes
place in a forest, in a field in the vicinity of Wuppertal, a town where
Bausch has her own school and theater, in the city center, in a
rehearsal hall built in a former cinema. But the leitmotif of the film –
the futility of human efforts and the endless search for love - is
revealed in the intense trampling of the swamp. There is very little
dance, rather it is such a surreal atmospheric video art with her
favorite themes of sadness, absurdity and paradox of the relationship
between a man and a woman.
