It's About Time, Ivo Briedis (LATVIA, 2015), 6’

 its-about-time-web Κούκλες

“It’s about time,” says a message stuck by the wind to the window pane. These words urge the lonely man to go out to the city but there is someone who does not let him leave the room. The film is about time which we cannot stop, but which can stop us. Or may be not.

An elderly Japanese man boards a ferry bound for an unknown island.
