Synopsis

Thanks to the scratches created by the hand-made development of the film, Olive creates an atmosphere close to an ancient ritual, even though everything was filmed in our time. Several people have gathered in the countryside, then assimilated into frames that evoke the early days of (unrestored) cinema through the handmade tint and deteriorated textures. The cinema haunts the present like a ghostly vision of the past.
