The climbing of an immense staircase made up of the most varied stairs. Symbolic scenes occur on different levels where characters seem to be prisoners of their deeds and of their own folly. The steep staircase leads little by little towards the zones of great light where human beings and nonhuman beings meet.

This animated short is a visual poem, a slow-burn ascent through symbolic realms. It feels deeply philosophical and ethereal, inviting contemplation on the human journey and the weight of existence. A surreal, allegorical experience that resonates long after its transcendent final moments.
