A marine archeologist embarks on a groundbreaking scientific experimentation. She intends to test a theory stating that the physical creation of vinyl records is similar to pottery and hence certain classical amphoras are suspected to have accidentally recorded simple 2500 year old sounds that can be played back today. To create and test models before experimenting on ancient amphoras she visits her ex-brother-in-law, a heartless eccentric sculptor. The experiment's resolution is a surprise beyond human absurdity.
