At the beginning of the '90s, the French-Israeli artist Absalon embarked on his life's project 'The Six Cells'. Six small cells, six individual houses, were supposed to be erected in a number of large cities all over the world. The inspiration for the project was the spartan aesthetic of a monk's cell, interpreted with the help of Le Corbusier's vocabulary - refined and adapted to the artist's own individual needs. The idea was to create a space, which through perfect proportions and forms could endow an individual human being with a sense of peace, security and creative inspiration. Absalon died at the age of just 29 years, but left behind enough mythical material to make him immortal. The film centers around a presentation held by Absalon himself, while taking the spectator out to those places where the houses stand today. What's left of his project? A Virus in the City!
