Detail

Two years of constant drift were rendered in 18-minutes of slashing montage.

Obviously, this film depicts a hunt. A continuous drop refracts and reflects streams of light. These streams of light fall on the photosensitive matrix of the smartphone. The imprint of light on the matrix turns this fall into a hover. Have you ever tried not to crack a candy, but to dissolve it?

Места съемки — Реутов, Париж, Берлин, Кадакес, Арамболь, Катманду, Будва, Барселона, Андорра, Электросталь, Дрезден, Бангалор, Венеция и др. Жанр — комедия, артхаус.
