A state of general alarm is forcing people to hide or escape: Mary Taggert, a researcher and sound therapist, and her patient Alaska, a girl with a complex personality, find themselves traveling down deserted roads. Only the sky is occasionally traversed by airplanes flying above the sea. When their car breaks down, the two women are forced to stop along a desolate coastline at the edge of a forest. Alaska abandons the young researcher and this forces them both to turn to nature and its sounds in their search for salvation. “An important theme of the film reflected in its title is the psychological impact of catastrophic events that are intentionally left undefined. In the technologically developed modern world we are subject to stress and fear caused by man-made disasters that are amplified by live news coverage. This environment creates a certain Condition in all of us. Almost anyone today is prone to some form of post-traumatic stress disorder.”
