Experiencing Interruptions?

Zonen

In Andrei Tarkovsky’s film Stalker (1979) three men enters the forbidden Zone in search of a magical room that will fulfill one’s innermost wish.

In Zonen we follow Nina who, after a shocking glimpse of a vertical truth, finds herself in the precarious Zone, a both inner and outer terrain which reflects the travelers own state of consciousness. With Tarkovsky’s film as a map and guide she starts searching the Zone for answers. She finds herself in a conversation about time and space with a spiritual medium and a quantum physics professor, at a Maundy Thursday dinner where Tarkovsky filmed the Sacrifice and confronting her daemons in the ruins of an old abandoned mine. All along the room is calling her onward, or is it her own heart? What will she find in that innermost room?
