synopsis

In a series of poetically arranged scenes, this silent road movie depicts a man driven by time into an inner landscape of timelessness. The protagonist, the director’s brother, has decided to deal with the days remaining until a dangerous operation in a unique way – by setting out on a journey “to nowhere.” A minimalist ambient poem full of subtle visual humor, the film premiered at the 2016 Rotterdam International Film Festival.

"The film is a detailed examination of fear and of attempts to come to peace with one’s inner self. The landscapes slowly build up an emotional state. This type of storytelling is an homage to film as a medium talking through pictures."
