Synopsis

Obliquely inspired by the fourth of the 'Duino Elegies' by Rilke, a moving story about loneliness, the feeling of loss and the irrevocable passing of time. Illustrated with the music of Eric Satie and suggestions to the paintings of Balthus, an aging man is visited by his reproaching younger self.
