This is really just two scenes, one of two men enjoying a wine taste test, and another of men playing rugby. The two segments are strikingly different, but both are fairly interesting, with the rugby segment being the more Herzog-y of the two. Slow-motion shots of men pounding the crap out of each other with gorgeous vocal music playing behind it takes up about the last third of the film. So what's the point of all of this? I don't really know.
