Synopsis

You can see the image of a neon advertisement of a man's body from the waist up, stretching and contracting one of his arms, in a symbolic gesture of showing strength. (It's an ad for a gym.)

 

After a few minutes with this scene, a man appears with a naked torso, from the waist up, moving his arm in the same way. As the gesture is repeated, the man demonstrates fatigue and does not sustain the rhythm by encouraging the movement.
