“A succession of short episodes pushes the mind to interpretation. Ayten Inan plays her sweet melancholy music to accompany the images but is included as a symbol. An elderly woman, a mirror. Two young men on a sofa, called to each other for intimacy, express their desire through dance. Two young women echo the same exploratory quest. The movements suggest frustration, a sort of attraction followed by repulsion. A total identity with the other is impossible. If we are melancholy, we must have known or forgotten a lost paradise. The film is the powerful expression of a journey not yet fulfilled, a journey into the darkness in search of a sign of hope, already knowing the impermanence of what is seen and the illusions of what is sought after. ”
