The Thread

synopsis

An old seamstress’s recollections are woven into a dreamlike postcard in which the sea carries away a house, God takes in a child, and the burden of life shines through into a blindness in which the most sensitive organs are the hands that meticulously work the loom.

"The Thread that connects all, from energy to matter, from energy to idea, from idea to symbol, from light to story, from photon to silver halide, from silver grain to moving image, living image. It's a film about dream and reality, about life and dead. Connected through a wool thread." P. Bulgarelli
