莉娜与娜卡的面前突然出现一位泪汪汪的美少女。她的名字叫莎琳娜，十天前她所居住的比亚兹村落，被一个名为塔因的秘密组织所驱使的下级恶魔占领，她是来请求她们帮忙，并且述说恶党们还胁迫村人去做一些挖掘的工作。平常要是没有酬劳，莉娜是不会接受委托的。不过她却突然想起在比亚兹村落有著＂妖精之传说＂，便接下了此次的任务。

Playing with both a structural principle of the cinematic medium (the synchronization of sound and image) and one of its core dimensions (to function as a machine for the reproduction of ghosts) with boundless gusto, the greatest polymath of the 1970s New York avant-garde devotes this first part of his Hapax Legomena cycle to nostalgia. He sets it, though, in brackets and openly wonders: can we feel nostalgia for the present? Via a sequence of 13 shots, each of which sees a photograph Hollis took of the New York arts scene ritually burned on a stove while the narrator has already moved on to describing the next still, this classicist poet, photographer, sculptor, critic, and filmmaker who set cinema on a new course explores the limits of representation, rescinding and resurrecting the capacity of the image to speak of reality.源自：
