With the demolition and burial of the rope workshop by Ivan Delimar, a new conceptual performance begins on the estate of Vlasta Delimar, in Štaglinec near Koprivnica, the cult place of Vlasta's art festival. Father Ivan Delimar stated: "When I die, bury me on my property, next to the workshop." As it is not allowed to bury human bodies in one's own yard, Vlasta buried his father's workshop on the property. The film emphasises the rawness of demolishing and burying a house in relation to the private and public symbolism of the place and the idea of a new beginning through destruction.

Vlasta Delimar (Zagreb, 1956) is the most prominent Croatian performer, uncompromising in her critique of ideologies, which she focuses on in her career as an artist that started in the early 1970s. She is one of the key figures who have defined contemporary performance from the perspective of their own bodies as a medium and substance - a female, naked body, which still causes controversy and taboo in society.
