What it’s about. Walking towards the fire. In a ceaseless stream of light, people, landscapes and objects lead us to mysterious regions.

Together with his wife Michèle, whose musique concrète compositions form the basis of the sound design, Bokanowski offers a prolonged, dense and visually visceral experience of the kind that is rare in cinema today. Difficult to define and locate, its strangeness is quite unique.
