A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
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.
