by Andrej Kolencik, Slovakia, 2022, 11' - out of competition
Living one's last days in peace and contentment in the company of a loved one. Light and buzzing cosmic orbs. The film - silent and slow - rejects the consumer world and the eternal and illusory race against time, paying homage to a peaceful old age with a touch of spirituality and intimacy.
