A film-diary that jumps through time and space, and finds connections between various sceneries and situations, which ordinarily would not exist together.

Fascination with movement, fixation of time, the mystery of life, the birth and dance of a butterfly… Through the history of mankind and film, these things never left us, they always bothered us and always will…

In a space that seems to be shrouded in complete darkness, light finds a way to protrude, and somehow, warmth emerges. It is the New Year’s, a time to reconnect with family, friends, and have a nice time. It is a holiday of light and happiness. The time is life-affirming: by the celebrations and fireworks, people declare that they exist and that they will break through no matter how cold and miserable life may seem.

An experimental narrative film about the process of becoming free and the changes that it provokes within a person.
