Summary

That strange, heavy drowsiness that settles in on the threshold after returning home. In this short fantasy piece conceived by Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid, the flow of time and space begins to deviate from what we know. A key slipping from one’s hand, shadows multiplying on the stairs, and endless repetitions. As reality and the dark recesses of the mind intertwine, the woman’s steps turn inward. Every new object that appears on screen shatters the routine of everyday life and opens the door to a completely different realm of mystery.
