Project Detail

Ferment

Synopsis

A quiet city square, people strolling by, children running around. An old man sits having a sandwich with his granddaughter on a bench. He has a heart attack and as he falls to the ground, time stands still. We travel away from the square and across the town, down streets, through buildings, into rooms and along corridors, catching glimpses of people and snatches of sound as they exist in that one instant . . .
