Project Detail

So Long (We Dreamt of This)

Synopsis

Someone who we never see – a 'nobody' – tries to tend to their plants, but persistent inner voices draw them into an alienating place with the promise of communication through pure thought. Where are we in this vision? Are we an observer of this experience, or experiencing it ourselves? Where is the division between us?
