This experimental short film is the inaugural episode of a series that investigates eco-somatic movement in relation to natural habitats and elemental forces. It was filmed along the pristine shores of Crimea during the post-COVID-19 season. A collaboration between director Daria Balanovskaya and multidisciplinary artist Mitya Staev offers a "slow cinema" to merge into somatic presence and sensoric perception through audio-visual poetry.
