Look at everything as though you are seeing it for the first time with the eyes of a child. Fresh with wonder - Joseph Cornell

I remember when I my grandmother died and I attended her funeral. She was an incredibly important person to me that one day was gone. At her funeral after she was buried I remember just walking looking at puddles and tombstones. Stories of lives that were filled with love and sorrow. Heartbreak and admiration. Bodies that achieved much different things buried side by side. This film is the closest thing that has ever existed to that. A moment that was deep in my subconscious that was resurrected back to life.

The colouring is nostalgic, but it's length and silence have a disquieting effect.
