Images of a noise wall alongside a freeway. Through the gaps in the wall, we briefly see the skyline of a city that we drive into through a tunnel. Then a woman holds a magnifying glass briefly in front of her eye, and subsequently moves it around over pictures of a flower as if the beauty of it has to be accentuated even more. When the flower in one of the pictures has opened, the sound of a stormy wind can be heard in the background. The magnifying glass shows more flowers and palm trees as well. The images of the freeway return and we seems to be driving out of the city again. A splendid garden can be seen in a circular image cut-out. It is as if nature is being examined whereby the viewer is intensely involved by the use of the frame.
