Cynara (played by an unknown actress, perhaps a theater student) is a ghost or a hallucination haunting a writer in a decaying industrial loft.

A voiceover recites Dowson’s poem, but in fragmented order. The “Poetry in Motion” subtitle refers both to her dancing and to the literal movement of words across the screen (kinetic typography, rare in 1996).
