This mystical short film has a narrator telling us about a "strange philanthropical secret society" that has been in existence for seven years at a certain building. Its members, Philokinetes, devote their energy and money to studying and promoting a fragment of film they call 'The Film to Come'. The fragment runs for twenty-three seconds and is in a loop. Thus projected, it can last for hours, days, even years. Apparently, after viewing this fragment one can become somewhat enlightened, and in a deep hypnotic state, brought about by over-repetition of the revealing fragment. As the narrator says: "Once you reach this state, you can see, so they say." The next section of the film is a watershed: for the narrator is now a different voice and telling us that the fragment has been stolen and the Philokinetes were now in a deep identity crisis. There is a large book of apocryphal wisdom shown called 'Double Book of the Dancing Mysteries' that the sect read. Knowledge derived from this book of "mumbo-jumbo and untruths" leads the Philokinetes to believe that cinema had a life independent to humans. Cinema, they said, is "the primeval soup of a new life form. Therefrom were to emerge pure screening creatures, or non topical beings. Vast sets of loops, from which everyone would own a short endless return to self." Later the Philokinetes claim that the lost fragment was found by the narrator's daughter, an event which sparks off feasts and banquets which lasted for weeks. The narrator's voice changes again as he dies whilst overlooking two priests undergoing a solemn leafing through the Double Book, after they have took a vow of illiteracy. The narrator's soul has now run away to a cinema, but more importantly, it had become a part of the fragment entitled The Film to Come. 　　Shot mainly in black and white, Ruiz's familiar shooting style and camera angles are evident in his esoteric and interesting nine minute film.

20世纪30年代，日本军国主义者在中国制造了“九·一八”事变和伪满州国之后，不久在东北哈尔滨平房地区创立了代号为“731”的细菌部队，也称“石井部队”——这实际是一座庞大的细菌武器制造工厂，为了研制和生产细菌武器，他们逮捕了数以千万计的中国人、苏联人、蒙古人和朝鲜人，其中有许多妇女和儿童。这种被他们被之为“马鲁大”而进行鼠疫、伤寒、痢疾、性病、炭疽等多项菌种的活体实验和活体解剖。并辅以毒气、冷冻、电击、干燥、饥饿等手段，致使无数生灵惨遭杀害……本片是大陆首部反映 日本731部队在中国用活人做实验的罪恶行径的连续剧，一共10集，由 中国电视剧制作中心制作，并在 中央电视台播出过，在我儿时的记忆中稍微有点恐怖的印象，而如今重看本片，其恐怖血腥场面依然震撼，据说当年还吓死过小孩。自1988年香港首部合拍的影片《 黑太阳731》问世以来，既迎合了许多观众感官刺激的需求，又可以用做 爱国主义教育，再者国内没有电影分级制度，当时又是思想政治极为开放时期，于是众多跟风之作的731题材影视作品如雨后春笋般地涌现出来，本剧可以说是《黑太阳731》的电视版，血腥的活人实验场面比比皆是，在活人实验中出现露点镜头在所难免。本片的露点镜头来自本剧第二集的男女“马鲁大”实验，日军把细菌实验的受害者称作“受实验的材料”，日文读作“马鲁大”，意为“剥了皮的原木” ，这中间既有中国的抗日志士和爱国者，也有苏联的红军官兵、情报人员和俄家属，更多的是普通中国百姓。
