The film finally opens amateurishly enough. The camera operator flicks on his device too early, and the frame shakes and jostles as he positions an unseen tripod is maneuvered into place. Through a slight green tint, the viewer (who had previously been watching six minutes and forty-three second of blackness, accompanied by the occasional whine, released at no less than 13000 hertz and lasting no longer than six seconds) can now see a portion of a bucolic yard, though there is still no reliable audio.
The scope of the camera is pointed at the trunk of a large oak tree, taking up roughly two-sevenths of the screen. Behind it, there can be seen a paved drive-way and several unkempt Forsythia bushes bursting with yellow. Eleven seconds after the camera is steadied, the wind begins to pick up, lightly jostling the small, yellow flowers of the hedge. Fifteen seconds after the camera is steadied, the high-pitched tone plays again for three seconds, and a previously unseen tire-swing is released from the right side of the frame. It begins swinging back and forth in front of the camera, and can be heard clearly by a viewer. Twenty-two seconds after the camera is steadied, after ten rotations of the tire-swing back and forth before the frame, muffled shouting can be heard in the left audio channel.
The shouting becomes louder over the course of the next ten point three seconds, and after the tire-swing has swung back and forth seventeen more times, it leaps in clarity. Now, individual voices can be discerned and fragments of words leap out from the left speakers. There is a man, whose shoe size is 12, and a woman, whose shoe size is 5. A door can be heard slamming shut in four more seconds, after the tire-swing has completed thirty nine and a half swings. The film continues in such a manner for four minutes, fifty six seconds, and two hundred and thirty three more swings of the tire.
As the aggressiveness of the shouting seems to raise its peak, the voices stop for seven seconds of clarity, during which the tone plays once more. "What the hell is he doing? Who is that?" the woman seems to ask, as the tire swing slowly stops moving and the tone ends. The frame of the movie suddenly jerks to the right, turns sideways, and haphazardly rushes away from the swing.
