Synopsis

Defragmentation of the past. A painter, mother and child comprise a family nucleus. The loss of the mother leads to the dissolution of memory, and memories become signs, ritually trapped in infinity. The artist’s artificial space makes him clash with the surroundings. After sinking into a darkness of the soul, he immerses himself deep inside his mind. Fiction takes him to a shared spiritual experience in which he and the child are brought closer together. Through the means of art he finds a way to reconciliation. His art becomes an entrance into a surreal spiritual space in which he questions the humanist dimension of his own art.
