Plot

Lynch's first film project consists of a looping animation of six people vomiting projected on to a special sculptured screen featuring twisted three-dimensional faces.

Against the backdrop of the hair-raising wail of the siren and an animated painting, a then-sophomore in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts David Lynch plays with the sense of disgust and the law of reflection. Using a sextet of disembodied, hand-drawn figures connected to their filled-with-gastric-fluids stomachs through six distinct oesophagi, Lynch uses red flashes, hungry flames, the laconic "sick" caption, and even the X-ray of a belly, to portray an emetic one-minute sequence of regurgitation looped not once, but six times.
