The Barrel

202310mMovieDocumentaryHistory

An experimental work of autofiction which captures the lasting impressions that an environment can have. A personal recollection leads to a ruin of historical significance, culminating in a tale of bizarre local folklore. This bewitching short makes for a wistful and meditative experience.
