Between life and death: time. A title, a film, that depicts three ways of living. Undefined, expanded time, when one does not feel the need to linger, such is the desire to go forward. A time, instead, when one does not want to advance anymore; the flow is ineluctable and one wants to do everything, recover even that which was thrown away. Lastly, a time for those left behind, for those who chase after the sense of the finite, with the need to create order, to memorize that which was left scattered in a garage. The cycle seems closed, were it not for a child and two masks that jump towards a new time.
