Caries
Eager to create a monumental work of art, a shaman remains blissfully unaware that she is painting her murals inside the mouth of a vain weather presenter.
Deluge
An ever-evolving landscape where the present inevitably coexists with the past. Memories are formed, reshaped, and obliterated, relentlessly competing for space. Control is surrendered, and mistakes and second chances are embraced. It is the slow stampede of a vulnerable mind.
I'm Not Sure
Insight into the filmmaker's stay in hospital, where she repeatedly experiences absurd, funny moments between pain, homesickness and disgust of her own body. Meanwhile, she tries to come to terms with the hospital's own procedures and hierarchies. An emotional trip through the long underground corridors of the hospital with lots of small talk and tubes.
