Time passes for everyone, we see it on our skin. For nature it is different, it transforms, changes and goes on without stopping. Inexorable, and we need only adapt

At a time when everything has been stopped by the pandemic, reality seems to be infinitely dilated, forcing the protagonists of this film to find new tools to cope with everyday life. Taking inspiration from a lucid dream and a carefully studied turtle, Costanza decides to follow her girlfriend on an archaeological campaign on the island of Ustica. The first lockdown will force the couple to postpone their planned meeting and to analyse with different eyes the existential and physical emptiness, sanctioned by the new historical course. Through the excavations and the camera, we witness an attempt to find deeper connections with the past and the place of origin. A semi-fable about time and history, observed through the eyes of impatience.

Italian writer Giorgio Pressburger is wracked with self-doubt as he seeks out signs of his own religious faith in this documentary; in so doing he lays his life experience bare, topples all his certainties, gives the lie to hypocrisy and penetrates the most hidden corners of the human mind. He examines childhood fears, adulthood and its lies, and the enlightenment that comes with grace. With the help of fellow travelers like Dostoyevsky and Kafka, Pressburger boldly takes on the problems of evil and suffering as found in very different cultures. His is a priceless example of bearing witness and an in-depth look at the workings of the soul.

In Handel's oratorio Il trionfo del tempo e del disinganno (1707), the desire to live is at odds with the realisation of one's own mortality. In his early masterpiece, the composer was able to open up clear emotional spaces to the simultaneity of the incompatible. What does it mean to be alive - and what does it mean to demand to be fulfilled with this life? And who am I when the mirror only gazes at me in silence? In Handel's music the questions begin to float.
