Embers from Yesterday, Aflame.
- Logline
- A transcendental meditation on withered trees struggling to be reborn. A fleeting glimpse into the seemingly trivial occurrences of daily life. A sheer ecstasy of physical intimacy viewed through celluloid films, in which the life of the emulsion is decaying. Through the evocation of the tension between transience and continuity, the film unfolds the dialectic of destruction and metamorphosis.
