The film is based entirely on the musical form of canon, featuring sequences that demonstrate the technique. The first sequence showcases four dancing cubes on a checkerboard, while the second features four human-like figures dancing in space. The third and most elaborate sequence follows a human performing unusual gestures, which are revealed to be part of a visual canon as the film is printed multiple times. The theme is varied through different musical and visual elements, including the introduction of a woman and cat, and even the image of the man is printed upside down to illustrate the concept of inversion.
