Bodies, nature, flowers, animals, light and night, awaken a narrative of desire and dream. A film that hangs over things, approaches them, touches them … a film of gestures, hands, melancholic and agitated. Sleeping and awake characters move in a clean landscape of clear and dark desires; Valéry and Bataille, love and eroticism and the bravery of thought. And more ghosts and ancient mirrors of water that collect images. A film that shines, atmospheric, musical, enchanting. (Carlota Gonçalves)
