Description
Synopsis | The film depicts the inner process of an artist struggling to create a work. It explores an intense longing for something new, constant inner conflict, and the fear of bringing creation into being. Like the myth of Sisyphus, it portrays the painful and repetitive nature of the creative process. The artist is driven by a will to pursue something new, yet is haunted by nightmares of endlessly falling into despair. The film reflects on the fragile boundary between creation and censorship.
