This film is the acknowledgement of a happening by Michel Journiac (Théatre de la Bastille, Paris). Journiac swaps cigarettes, flowers, pictures and rings with a couple of accomplices. He draws a circle on their forearm with lipstick then when he is left alone he brands himself. He turns into a ritual simple daily gestures by making them sacred. He transfers the other’s print into his own skin and his body bears the print of the presence and the absence of the one he wanted to share something with.
