“ … a beautiful journey through the wasteland of displaced souls, loosely structured around biblical stories. A man becomes a traveller after his home is destroyed; the story expands to examine those who are literally or metaphorically homeless. In this alien world, existing between fact and fiction, a provocative question is asked: Where does one go after losing paradise?” – Liz Czach, Toronto International Film Festival “Part diary film … part urban ethnography … part excavation in search of faith amidst landscapes of concrete, it is a compilation film assembled from rolls of super-8 and 16mm that I shot, hand processed, optically printed and edited in many places. The film’s structure was inspired primarily by a chance encounter with a young German traveller who I met in San Francisco … destitute and alone. The soundtrack was cobbled together over many years … found albums mostly … narration recorded while working on location … Hollywood movies … motel bathtubs … dreams.” – John Price
