A Short Film by Ērika Daņiloviča
Music by Waterflower
Director's quote: "This short film is about the youth – they are all young. They have a glowing light in their minds, their ears are their eyes, the world is in their hearts. It is so easy to be young and abandoned within the whole world. This generation is sad, because interactions have been cut short. There is no flame - a fire cannot burn with just more kindle. Rebirth is the exit. The flow in the mind is like an instrument. Their eyes are drowned in autumn, but they must do something brave so that their hearts do not rot. They need to want to live.
The protagonist of the short film's narrative is resurrected, which is a metaphorical transition from the state of ‘Generation S(ad)’ to the state of ‘flow’. Generation S(ad) is characterized by a lack of attention and concentration, automatic actions, a full head of thought, a lack of motivation, and an inability to enjoy routine and daily activities. The moment the main character revives her personality, a flash appears, which means that consciousness is ‘turned on’. The flowers that appear in are a metaphor for the ‘prosperity of the soul,’ which means the complete rebirth of the personality and the ability to enjoy existence. The head-shaped mirror, which is a full-fledged participant, symbolizes a human face that is vulnerable to the world around it. At the end the moon appears on the palms of young people, which, in Hinduism, is a symbol of control of the mind and spiritual processes.”
