Based on the poem of the same name by Joe Rosenblatt (Governor-General Award Winner) and read by the poet in the film. Environmental and electronic sounds, found footage and footage shot for the film combine with the poet’s voice to evoke the eerie landscape of the poem in an original interpretation. The usual poetic questions regarding existence, love, death and bureaucracy are cleverly broached.
