“I would like you to make yourself comfortable and free your mind from every thought.” This is how the film begins: with an invitation to free your mind and relax while chaos takes form on the screen. An indistinct crowd that doesn’t seem to know where to go; in reality, however, they are all asleep and everyone wants to dream.

Declaration
film director

The long horizontal shot from the previous short that spans across a city without borders comes to a stop to capture up close the people and their gestures immersed in a chaotic fluctuating space.”
