Synopsis
Short film written, directed, and starring Maya Deren following her debut work “Meshes of The Afternoon” (1943). The first scene depicts the sea, a recurring element in the work of the Ukrainian choreographer and filmmaker, in a film which defies categorization, inviting us to plunge into a woman’s journey through different times, scenarios, and subjectivities. The formalist intention of the work, with its singular spatial discontinuity, coexists with the fluidity of bodies in incessant movement, culminating in a cardinal work for which there are no certainties, only multiple possibilities.
