Around an urban park lake, the film gathers images that shapeshift between matter and omen, slowly dissolving any clear coordinates. What forces simmer and erupt when narrative is minimised, when spaces and people share only subtle or sudden gestures charged with unexplained intensity? This magnetic work echoes Helena Wittman’s distinctive search for a sense of immensity (of space and of feeling) refracted in delicate signs and moments that feel both attentively choreographed and visceral. It continues her growing body of works that move along with water (Human Flowers of Flesh, Wildness of Waves, DRIFT, Tender Noise at Night) and her close collaborations with composer and sound designer Nika Son, whose pulsating score animates all movement in astonishing flows.
