Experiencing Interruptions?

01

The heroine is immersed in a surreal story of choices within a dream, in an attempt to see her own future, the butterfly effect. But what is dream and what is reality, where is the truth and where is the lie, she has to find out by delving into the complex philosophy of being, coming face to face with her own ego in the struggle of who is the true self.

Director Statement

When I was 7 years old, I got very seriously ill and my body temperature was 41 degrees Celsius. Through the stupefaction inside my head, the only thing I could reproduce was a visualization of the thoughts at that moment. I had an old Nokia and Lego at hand. Exactly from that moment I started creating stop-motion and filming, taking ideas from dreams.
I can hear visuals.
