Hands searching the green moss, feet treading dead and crunchy logs, stones turned in search of hidden treasures, a frog nudged until it runs away. This is Dobra’s visual and aural universe, but the door opens for something darker to enter.

A four-hand film, a gentle film on hands which shakes and stirs, touches the earth, the branches, the rocks. A film on relations as a filmmaker game of hide-and-seek. A vegetal film, natural, of holes and hideouts, of body and landscape on the hand’s lines, a labyrinth pathed by branches, the nature ready to bind us. Atmospheric, subtle, it is re-amazed by the night, letting itself go with the mysteries that echo and merge into a body of secrets (Carlota Gonçalves)
