Commentary on the film

What if we inhabited impossible objects? A very amusing homage to Maurits Cornelis Escher, his tricks of perspective and impossible constructions, notably "Ascent and Descent" (1960) in which the monks of the castle go up and down stairs in infinite loops, or the waterfall in the painting "Perpetual Motion" (1961).
