It has always been the duty of theater and film toprovide access to the secret chambers where the real changes happen to mankindand the world. In tonight's film, we will see how a man, on an ordinary day,seems to have been grabbed by the arms of a giant. Everything he owns disappears,and finally-in front of the careless eyes of the world-he, himself, disappears°.Like salt in the eye of contentedness: that is how we want our film to bereceived."
