During several weeks a panter and draughtsman tries obsessively to capture the sunlight through the leaves of a quince tree he is depicting, following in the least details the tree evolution and its fructification in the course of authmn and winter. Everything goes on calmly and quietly, showing us all the artist's movements and also the conversations he has with other people mainly with a long time friend who is also an artist, discussing all the painting technical details.
As in other Erice's films everything goes on calmly and quietly and with some monotony, Everything goes like if we were watching a documentary instead of a fiction movie. As a matter of fact the actors and actresses represent themeselves in person and not any fiction characters. And the movie ends up in a somewhat odd way with the artist having a dream about memories of his past life.
It is a movie that in its kind has neither action nor drama or comedy. Not so bad but only just that,
