Directed by Bruce McDonald, Don McKellar and Michael Ondaatje based on Ondaatje's poem of the same name, the film stars McKellar and Tracy Wright as a couple in a jazz dance competition, in which various couples are eliminated as the announcer (Michael Turner) calls out various elimination criteria drawn from Ondaatje's poem.

Other people appearing in the film as non-speaking dancers include Meryn Cadell, Carole Pope, Laura Bertram, Valerie Buhagiar, Chas Lawther, Anna Stratton, Duke Redbird, Ryan Black, Esta Spalding, Leah Cherniak, James Allodi and Clement Virgo.
