Summary The film depicts an initially empty room. A ball bounces in through the window, and a boy enters to retrieve it and leaves. This series of actions repeats over and over, gradually accompanied by more and more repeating paths of different people through the room. The film ends with the people eventually leaving the room and the boy throws the ball through the window one last time, landing near an old woman lying down. She then gets up, picks up the ball and walks out the door near her, leaving the room completely empty again just like at the beginning.
