The visual part of the video consists of the documentary material on the Saint Saba monastery in Judaic desert, as well as the shots of four warning signs and of four elements of nature: water, leaves, earth and a tree trunk. These pictures flow in the same rhythm as the voices of the orthodox Christian priests who chant the melody composed for the project. The rhythm is that of the onesentence prayer which evokes the micro- and macro-cosmos traditionally which has been repeated in a form of mantra by the ancient orthodox mystics.
