An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
An improvised film about our worlds at the brink, on the edge, in front of a crisis. To stand on the side of life, by seeing the resistance to genocide in Palestine as a turning point to overcome.
