Why tonight?

  • Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
  • In German — subtitles on.

The story

Shot under extreme conditions and inspired by Mayan creation theory, the film contemplates the illusion of reality and the possibility of capturing for the camera something which is not there. It is about the mirages of nature—and the nature of mirage.

The look

A few frames, chosen rather than collected.
