A woman has to sew a dress for the end-of-summer party. She plans to sew through the night and make a dress that she has never dared to make before.
She has left her great love and returned from her summer vacation trip back to work at the power plant’s call center. The water stopped by the concrete moves restlessly in its basin, inside the plant a turbine grinds electricity and the woman thinks about the beginning and end of love, friendship, and the materials of the power plant, water and human.
