With artist Nina Hanson playing the piano. Made on the 75th anniversary of Robert Schumann's death. The film is a kind of cinematic polemics with the composer's Nachtstücke (Night Pieces 1839). The central motif is water. Water - one of the four elements, the symbol of new life and infinity, in Ruttmann's work shines in a raging whirlpool, a torrent, a steaming geyser. However, the film-maker also shows the gentle face of water – the peaceful water surface or the innocent, playful waves. The film is a predecessor of a music video.
