Inspired by Michel Houellebecq's sexually explicit novel Platform, the action cuts between London and Antarctica, where Matt reflects on his sexually frantic relationship with Lisa. He compares walking across the icy wasteland with, "two people being in a bed - claustrophobia and agoraphobia in the same place." It's a laughably obvious stab at profundity... ah, but wait! Perhaps by weaving visceral concert footage of bands like Primal Scream and Franz Ferdinand with frenzied lovemaking, Winterbottom is connoting something about the rhythm of life?
