An elderly single woman learns she is terminally ill and takes some things in a suitcase, puts her fish in a plastic bag and leaves on foot. During her lonely journey she has several brief but special encounters. She ends her way of sorrows in a monastery where she lies down and refuses all food and drinks.

Isamu Hirabayashi

Japan

2010 | 00:10:30

A mother and son are lying tied up in a dark hole, while outside, detectives scour the fields for them. They are buried alive. A dramatic situation is played out on two planes that do not seem to coincide: a breathless search outside, claustrophobic survival inside. The director emphasises this opposition and knows how to unsettle. This latest short by Isamu Hirabayashi, a cult director in this genre, is deliberately enigmatic.

Life on the steppes of Kazakhstan is closely tied to the old gods of heaven and earth. The tent is round, the tables are round and so is the world. Today's Kazakhstan is home to remnants of Tengrism: the worship between the god of the sky Deity Tengri and his favourite wife Umai, the earth goddess. In this colourful report on steppe life, documentary and contemporary myth are intertwined.
