Synopsis


Two children reminisce over a home movie which walks the line between documentary and experimental film. From a courtyard in bloom at their grandparents’ home in the countryside, they are led by a chance encounter to discover the source of a mysterious music.

A word from Tënk


Fleeting Sensations

From the land of childhood

Pyjamas against the skin, summer

Water dripping

The blue hour

Blue summer evenings

Daylight fades

The outlines of things blur

Time stretches into infinity

The repeated gestures of childhood

Testing your body, testing your voice

Feeling your own limits, where skin

And voice come to an end

A yellow flower imprinted on the retina

Clinging there like a sun

Even with closed eyelids

It lingers within

Long into the night

Eyes, skin, fingertips

Sensations, blessed sensations

From the land of childhood
