Synopsis
A whimsical dance of jetés and arabesques movement is an older principe than the humid and blinks in a wild tempo that could last indefinitely and yet it stops at 4 minutes and 55 seconds. It is a series of snapshots, flashes without light that record all the times, the present ticks by and the seasons pass by in fast motion while the tree rids itself inside a round of fog, whether leafy and abounding in branches and ramified leaves or on the other hand light and loose. (Suzanne Doppelt)
