Drama

A painter from the big city goes to a remote canyon to commit suicide. To reach some calmness he stays at the farmstead of Ascen, an old religious woman. Although only a few words are spoken, love grows.

VIBE

A stark, quiet contemplation on life's end. It feels like a hushed pilgrimage, where profound human connection blossoms in the most unexpected, desolate landscapes. A deeply moving, minimalist experience.
