Synopsis
At a desert landscape, under an expanding sky, human workers deal with the weight of simple materials, trying to connect with the lightness of the cosmos that surrounds them. Bodies are balanced and dismembered, creating optical illusions that seek to gently illuminate the humanity of Sisyphus in his search for meaning.
