Augenblick reflects on what it means to be human in a post-human world. A giant rock turns into a mountain in an icy landscape. In a formal garden, Jean Jacques Rousseau talks about man and his relationship with society. In a theatrically lit room, three women of various ages announce a range of human beliefs, from animism to our current fast-paced digital world. Afterwards, the women drink tea in a sunny room and talk about aging, diet and cannibalism. Rousseau briefly reappears and the film returns to the opening shot of a reptilian-looking rock floating in space.
