In the void created ad hoc to throw us into desperation, fear, shock, the torment of an infinite present, Arto Lindsay sings with words, silences and small gestures of/with/for/about love, a force that is so violent that nothing will ever be the same again.
"Tilda Swinton ideologically passes the baton of her former amorous expression to Arto Lindsay, to whom we cinema-video-eye offer a two-dimensional expression. Everybody kills what they love." (L. Guadagnino)
