Four young men attend a private viewing at an exhibition. They are there to support and celebrate their friend’s academic and creative success in his Modern & Contemporary Arts (MA).

When Simbai (artist/ graduate) leaves the room before revealing his work to his friends. They find his prize winning masterpiece and are left to observe, and deconstruct Simbai’s artwork before he comes back.

But – what the hell is it?
