something(en)
The first film of the trilogy “discommunication” introduces the viewer to the narrative methods and film language on which the following films will be based. In a short essayistic form, images appear that are redefined when they come into contact with the text.

The transition from the object world to the non-object world seems to me to be one of the few ways to come closer to conveying these states.
