An Investigation into a Mystery

A minimalist documentary about the events on and around the 1st of August 1966 in Austin Texas.

Briar and Belle live alone in a quiet house on a quiet street. No-one ever visits, and they never leave. Things have always been this way and the two girls know they always will be. They are happy. But fun and games are only fun for so long, and as the playful wanderings of Briar's mind begin to lead her thoughts into the unknown, the pressure out the world outside the windows begins to push in on their sealed safety and threatens to divide the sisters forever.

A man sits at a table reading something he has written.

A lonely women. She hears the Bells calling her. And so she follows.

A vague light flickers in the distance.

Abandoned houses filled with useless old junk. Empty streets in deserted suburbs. And why do the airplanes seem to only be heading west? ‘Baseball’ is a cryptic and hypnotic fever-dream of a world out of sync. Like picture postcards from a parallel universe, a series of static and surreal vignettes reveal the lives of a loose knit group of teenagers trying to find sense in emptiness.

In a recuperation facility for people with a mysterious ailment, two women meet and establish a mystical connection.

Empty interior landscapes over the course of a single day.
