- DirectorMan RayStarsKiki of MontparnasseJacques RigautA long series of unrelated images, revolving, often distorted: lights, flowers, nails. A lightboard appears from time to time carrying the news of the day. Then, an eye. A woman in a car drives along country roads. Farm animals. She descends from the car, again and again. Images: dancing legs, seashore, swimming fish, geometric shapes, cut glass. A man removes his starched collar. It rotates. A girl has garishly painted eyes. No, she's only fooling. Those were her eyelids.
- DirectorMan RayStarsKiki of MontparnasseAndré de la RivièreRobert DesnosTwo people stand on a road, out of focus. Seen distorted through a glass, they retire upstairs to a bedroom where she undresses. He says, "Adieu." Images: the beautiful girl, a starfish in a jar, city scenes, newspapers, tugboats. More images: starfish, the girl. "How beautiful she is." Repeatedly. He advances up the stair, knife in hand, starfish on the step. Three people stand on a road, out of focus. "How beautiful she was." "How beautiful she is." "Beautiful."
- DirectorMan RayStarsMan RayJacques-André BoiffardGeorges AuricTwo masked men playing dice in a bar leave, get in a car, and drive to the ruins of a castle on a hill. There. they find a modern chateau filled with contemporary furniture and abstract art. Time to roll the dice.
- DirectorPere PortabellaStarsMario CabréJosep CentellesNatacha GounkevichThe film is based on the suggestions may caused to the viewer by the relationship of images and things that seemingly are isolated, having nothing in common and that emulate the conventions of film and television advertising. The poet Joan Brossa worked on this script and also puts some maliciousness on the gray and oppressive atmosphere of Franco's Spain, which foreshadow the theme more explicitly on Portabella's 'Nocturno 29'.
