An animated puppet film as a melancholy ballad: In deserted conference rooms, bed stores, experimental laboratories, medical offices, petrol stations and scientific centres, animals strike up the swan song to a world that may never be what it once was.

Six animals meet at the swimming pool. The horse the pools manager is a dedicated, conscientious friend of order. Over the years the premises have become her whole world. Two wolves come to the pool to bathe. Their relationship is hard to define but one wolf constantly wields power over the other. Three mice also visit the pool, but they have a different agenda altogether.
