An impressionistic diary film constructed from fragmented images of a winter spent in the English countryside. Sunlight filters through clouds, rain, and bare tree branches to reach the warmth of a domestic space, while flashes of Christmas tree lights, a pair of ice skates, and a chilly trip to the beach evoke the ephemeral sensations of our seasonal routines. “My first visit to England after a gap of two years, it’s as if I’m discovering each subject for the first time. Objects picked up one by one. Every form seems to contain its dissolution, a premonition of loss. Holding on to the edge of a cloud, a hungry ghost throws its wishes to the sea”. (James Edmonds)
