A rocky island stands on a windless seascape. Tall cypress trees occupy the dark inlet, where steep cliffs are pierced on all sides by enigmatic rectangular doorways. Small white terraces and walls emanating an unnatural light, complete the architecture of the island. The place appears uninhabited. Only two figures on a boat, an oarsman and his passenger dressed in white, ferry what appears to be a sarcophagus covered in cloth.
