Consists entirely of light refracted through a glass ashtray. I liked it, but I will say that 67 minutes of this is major overkill. It's fascinating for 10 minutes, interesting for 15, pleasant for 20 and tolerable for 30. After that, I kept watching only out of a sense of obligation. Still, the images are otherworldly and intriguing, as the brain tries to figure out exactly what it's perceiving. And it's also quite beautiful.

Being in the right mood for this is absolutely crucial. Since I was, I found it to be beautiful.
