Written and Directed by Pete Gomes

Running time 90 mins

The film consists of 64 short interweaving monologues by 4 characters walking in a beautiful natural landscape of trees, a lake, dense woodland, and hillsides - during Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. The characters are outside of time, history and any reference to the real world. Their elusive riddle like language, enlightening and cryptic, begins to resonate with the viewers own actual experience.

A mixture of surreal, comic, absurd and profound , the characters watch the landscape change over time, in all weathers and seasons and reflect, talk out loud and think; with the viewer never quite knowing who they are, why they are there, and what exactly is the strange magical landscape they are locked within.

As the film progresses the characters cross over, fusing to give the audience a complex human portrait, about hope, ageing, loss, dreaming, dying, living memory and time.
