Fluxes is Arthur Lipsett's view of the human condition and the mixed-up planet where humans are found. As in his other films (Very Nice, Very Nice; 21-87), Fluxes has a disconnected flow of images that, in their erratic way, build up into a cutting indictment of the world the way it is. The film's only commentary consists of unrelated snatches of words and sounds.

Having run out of weed, Norville visits his close friend and drug dealer Gary, only to find himself ravelled in an absurd conspiracy that only he can get to the bottom of.
