Une jeune femme apathique est surveillée par une caméra vidéo. Celle-ci, accompagnée de sa complice, Mlle Effets Spéciaux, lui feront revivre un état d'angoisse profond, amenant le personnage à se percevoir différemment. La caméra et Mlle Effects Spéciaux tentent de faire réagir le personnage: la jeune femme subit les "effets spéciaux" et les mouvements de la caméra comme si elle était à l'intérieur de l'image. À travers les bouleversements de la conscience du personnage, l'effet miroir de la vidéo est détourné de façon ludique afin de proposer une réflexion inédite et ironique sur l'identité, sur l'image de soi et sur l'art vidéo.

A young apathetic woman is watched by a video camera. The camera and its accomplice, Ms. Special Effects make her relive a state of profound distress, leading the character to perceive herself differently. The camera and Ms. Special Effects try to provoke a reaction from the character. The young woman experiences the special effects and the camera movements as if she were inside the image. The mirror effect of video is deflected through the character's upheavals of consciousness - a playful way of putting forward an unusual and ironic reflection on identity, self-image and video art.
