The camera enters a museum of an European capital. There is only a receptionist sitting at a table, reading, and there are 92 drawings hanging on the walls, of small dimensions and of different materials. While the camera gets closer to the drawings, a voice over starts speaking. He is the person who collected those drawings, so that they can be of use after the death of a mysterious character named Tulse Luper. A wander, adrift, in space and time through the vision of ten maps, showed in an imaginary art gallery. Reality as a combination game between numbers and phantasy.
