ストーリー
The short 'On Top Down Under' begins with a young girl standing alone in an isolated lighthouse as evening shadows fall. She reminisces about her past summer spent with her lover at a geyser. Meanwhile, in Australia's desert during a heat wave, her lover transports blocks of ice to a lonely shack. The film alternates between these two settings, depicting the lovers' memories and current activities without any dialogue other than verses from John Keats' sonnet.
