Story line - Painstakingly, through the use of the rare pinscreen animation, the meticulous director Jacques Drouin engraves his avant-garde visions in this stunningly beautiful and almost surreal experimental short film. Little by little, we witness a solitary artist who paints a lush and enchanting scenery, immerse himself in his symbolic creation, as the mystical landscape's ceaseless transformation ultimately enfolds him. —Nick Riganas
