A film-song of an interior-scape in winter, a cocooned adagio that moans against the barrier between self and storm. The body of the film is presented mainly in the order in which it was shot, or sung, reflecting the natural shifting of my state of dreaming/being at that time: merging into darkness, yet pulled ever toward the blinding intensity of ragings without.
The primary soundtrack is composed of variations on two piano Etudes I was memorizing during the period in which I shot the film, a music that repeated continuously in my head as I was living through the winter, echoing my retreat into darkness during that period.
