Crystal unfolds as a series of evocative, non-linear vignettes where fleeting images and sensations merge into a meditation on memory and time. A solitary figure moves through shifting urban and natural landscapes—fragments of childhood recollections, dreamlike encounters, and dissolving reflections in water or glass. Objects transform unexpectedly - a lantern flickers into a memory, a stranger’s face blurs into light - blurring boundaries between past and present.

at multiple points during this film I thought I had understood it and started to think about a review and then the scene would change and my perspective would shift too and then it circled round again and I ended with the same draft of review that I had started with and then they showed the last image and now I have no idea what to write
