Sim Campbell sits centre stage on a sofa. He is a black man with dyed dreadlocks, wearing a black vest, grey shorts and white socks. He's surrounded by mysterious figures wearing trench coats, masks and hats. They frame him as they pass objects to eachother, behind and around him. But Sim is looking intently at his own hands, which are held up in front of him as he uses sign language.
