| Synopsis:
During his whole life, the mythological Sysiphus,
transferred to the present, rolls his boulder in front
of him until he reaches the summit, where he lets
it go down with a great relief before beginning the
same operation again. The film offers a view of man's
ever-repeated effort and its mechanism, which is,
so to speak, the leverage used by him. |
