A nuclear power plant worker obsessed with counting has set a maximum limit on how much electricity he wants to consume. But the energy that should have lasted him for the rest of his life is slowly running out, forcing him to decide on its final use.
Religion has taught us about the body and the spirit. Cinema reminds us that this is nothing with light or movement, and director Kochová brings us this “loving acceptance of the fact that we are energy”, according to her own words. “And energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another or transferred from one system to another”. This glorious epiphany is not blind to the fact that energy has ecological and social costs and also pleads for degrowth. This short was shot on 16mm film that got damaged by digitally recorded electrical discharges. And we feel somehow electrified by this poem on our hidden possibilities.
