Cuban trumpet player Yuliesky González Guerra approaches the close-up with his trumpet and after drawing breath, blows into his instrument and holds the note for forty seconds, until his breath gives out. By reiterating the scene in a loop, it becomes a cycle in which the musician’s breath never really gives out, but is reborn after each ending.
