Absolute deafening void

Experimental short film mostly made with diverse stock material about 3 particular moments after my father's death. An absolute bewilderment in which nothing made sense and passed quickly and abruptly without even realizing it. A second in which the experience of pain numbs the body and spirit to the point of profound alexithymia. And the third, that it is not a feeling of relief, but of deep sadness in which you realize that nothing will return to its place, and that you will never be whole again.
