In the run-up to the so-called "Vietnam talks" in Paris in 1969, there were serious disputes about protocol details, including the shape of the table at which the negotiations were to take place. In his first short film, Michael Verhoeven assembles images of various tables from films, photos, and drawings and contrasts them with images of mass death in Vietnam. His experimentally packaged didactic piece illustrates the absurdity of the situation.
