A man is caught in a circle of endless pursuit and capture of his escaped ‘cockerel’. The viewer's reverie is jolted by a play with diegetic and non-diegetic conventions of sound: domestic, industrial, everyday and the environmental. The only relief is the long silent lapping of the waves on an empty screen at the end of the loop before the man again finds his ‘cockerel’ and enters the frame.
