Synopsis
A child and a man are climbing up an expanse of sand or snow. A metal door slams. Only the man remains, stunned and in prison. Where are we? In the waking dream of a man running towards light, space and music where he can join the child, ride a chestnut mare across the wild moors until he reaches the ocean into which he dives, drunk on his senses and freedom.
