Michael was initially inspired by Michel Houellebecq’s sexually explicit novel
Platform – ‘It’s a great book, full of explicit sex and again I was thinking,
how come books can do this but film, which is far greater disposed to it,
can’t?’ Michael met with Houellebecq, but as it turned out the French
novelist had his own film plans for the book.

The film is told as a flashback. Matt, who is fascinated by Antarctica, is
visiting the white continent and recalling his love affair with Lisa. In the
voice over, Matt compares being in Antarctica to being ‘two people in a
bed - claustrophobia and agoraphobia in the same place’. The images of
the ice and the never-ending landscape of Antarctica are effectively cut in
to shots of the crowded concerts.

The film had no script. The dialogue evolved during the filming through
improvisation and interaction between the actors and the director.
