这是一部纪录片，呈现了一个孤独者每日与艰难生活做斗争的影像，他远离了农村和城市生活，一个人住在洞穴里，仿佛英国的鲁宾逊。他没有希望，或者说他的希望仅是多收几粒玉米，借雨后的泥巴加固窑洞的土墙。对旁观者来说，他是一个绝望的存在，但对他而言，只意味着简单的生存。

Ono’s work related destruction to interpersonal, often intimate, human relations. This element was particularly thought-provoking in ?Cut Piece?, one of many actions she did as DIAS [Destruction in Art Symposium]. Ono had first done the performance in 1964, in Japan, and again at Carnegie Hall, in New York, in 1965. Ono sat motionless on the stage after inviting the audience to come up and cut away her clothing, covering her breasts at the moemnt of unbosoming. ?Cut Piece? entailed a disrobing, a denouement of the reciprocity between exhibitionism and scopic desires, between victim and assailant, between sadist and masochist: and, as a heterosexual herselft, Ono unveiled the gendered relationship of male and female subjects as objects for each other.(source: Kristine Stiles,?Uncorrupted Joy: International Art Actions,? in: Out of Actions: between performance and the object, 1949–1979, Paul Schimmel (ed.), MoCA Los Angeles, New York/London, 1998, p. 278.)
