A silent film written and directed by Man Ray
Mannequin hands hold a pair of dice. A castle is perched on a clifftop.
Below it, a posh, modern villa. Meanwhile, far from Paris, two men with masked faces play dice in a bar. They decide to drive to Paris. Country roads, hills, fences. The smart chateau appears again: meticulous garden, fancy interior, odd sculptures. And at home? "No one. NO ONE"....
