A man sneakily spikes his wife’s tea with a high dose of a mysterious serum that is supposed to make her lose weight quickly. But following a prank by her, he ends up drinking it himself. Starting to shrink, his semblance transforms into the manifestation of a small and visibly fragile masculinity.

An explosion. Mirrored in the eye of a dying fish we see a naked body flying high above the clouds, floating like a ballerina. Higher and higher, crossing time and space, escaping the boundaries of the atmosphere. A meditation on a sailor’s unexpected voyage that is not set on the high sea but in extraterrestrial space.

Lights and colours are melting, transforming, pulsating. A play between abstraction and figurativeness, accompanying the music of Danish sound artist Sofie Birch. The experimental music video explores cinematic means of expression – discovering a way to not only accompany but interact with Birch’s sounds.

Stepping into a cave, the sight fluctuates by the firelight. Animations on a metal plate, in constant motion. Dissolving and transitioning into each other, moved by free jazz sounds. The expedition through the cave leads past human and non-human actors, arriving at a borderless tunnel. Here we become witnesses of domestication and desire.

The old man falls into silence. Wanting to create a space for love rather than the anger he has felt for so many years, the Holocaust survivor reads out a letter written to the pig who saved his life. Hearing this testimony, a young girl sinks into a twisted dream, confronting questions of belonging, collective trauma, guilt, and healing.
