An hour and a quarter of music and cinema, with animation short films and fragments of mythical movies such as Buster Keaton's Steamboat Bill Jr. or Yakov Protazanov's Aelita, considered to be the first russian science fiction film.

Over these images Racalmuto interprets pieces by the Raymond Scott Quintette, John Kirby sextet and originals.

The show is seasoned with a large dose of humour thanks to the musicians performance:the presentation of each tune becomes a comical sketch. The argument and some details of the movie are explained in an amusing way.

None of these pieces was composed for the film it accompanies but a common link exists between both of them. Thus, Scott's Happy farmer seems to be made especifically to the adventures of farmer Al Falfa as a modern day Noah in Noah's outing; while ¿Quién quiere un Tornado?(Who wants a tornado?) could be the logical soundtrack for Keaton's Steamboat Bill Jr.

Considering that both the films and the musical pieces have an exact duration, Racalmuto embarks on a circus-like show, where the public holds its breath praying that the artists finish the tune before the end of the film and don't crash to the floor

it must be said that this only happens on rare occasions.
