"A Desire For Things To Work" is an essay film and a tale of contemporary flaneurship – a one night trip in Amsterdam, the city, which is well known for its low-cost entertainment. As the city in the film is seen being empty, the flaneur – an unidentified traveller of the non-human nature, explores the city's architecture reminiscent of the pre-given desires and systems of attachment that embraces us all. Followed by the voices of the phone-sex operators, the trip is a dedication to the libidinal economy and the escaped fantasies that emerge.
