In the Absence of Miracles



2016 | DCP | 23 minutes | music | dialogue



Synopsis:

At twilight, a family in a car gets lost in the city. A mysterious fish-man shows them the way by driving along,  but the car gets ambushed by elderly people wearing masks of dead Hollywood stars. Further on, potted plants on the road in a park intoxicate the youngest daughter. The fish-man dies and is placed on the field, after which two nude people replace the children in the back to finally help the family get to a garage.
