The Silence

Detmold

Germany / Experimental / 00:04:28 min

It is about touching grass. About getting an overdose of the digital world, about ones strength of will. Sitting in a dark basement for ever since he imagined a guy passes out because of an unhealthy amount of not touching grass, and then, in an instant he gets reawakened in a forest. Completely disoriented and with no idea of what is going on he decides to get up and walk, but even in the forest he gets presented with a last temptation. The digital manifests in the form of a laptop which the guy is drawn to at the end.
