Uma is based on a chance event and is comprised of a single shot with no cuts, like the subjective view of a voyeur; it shows a man and a woman hugging each other in the water, at a beach. The choreography of those two bodies suggests that, at broad daylight and in front of everyone, they are making love—the "uma" [a quickie] to which the title refers. The voyeur-like and ironic camera follows them until they both get out of the water and the woman, who looks tired, sits on the sand.
