A lesson in desire, film and ethical pornography
“What I desperately want is to lose myself. To be nothing more than a raw bare piece of nature, that surrenders to simply being and ceasing to be,” she narrates longingly, in subtitled German, while stretched out naked in a steaming bath, eyes closed, weighted by feelings of disconnection from her lover.
For the next eleven minutes we are guided through a masterclass in short-filmmaking where music, sound, framing and lighting are all employed to create a sense of desire that emotionally builds to an explosive primal passion and a reconnection for our yearning lovers. You watch this sensory feast, mesmerised by the passionate story unfolding on screen.

And the reviews for this mini-masterpiece are good:
“Can I please give this movie ten stars? Or, better, tons of stars? Because every second of this is brilliant.”
“What an amazing piece of short film art. Light, architecture and authenticity fusioned with passion and desire at its best.”
“This is by far one of my favourites, just wow. Gorgeous couple, fantastic chemistry, amazing sex, just an astonishing movie, all of it.”
