Pulling Up Roots

Cecelia Condit / Ireland / 2015 / 8 min.


synopsis

Between the walls of an unfinished building in the west of Ireland, a woman in yellow struggles with overgrown vegetation. Provocative miniature finds itself on the edge of all possible "ifs", at the crossroads of alternative stories that could have happened and lives that could have been lived.
