Performed and recorded live on set through a series of one-shot takes, Vincent Moon&#8217;s intimate cinematic vision brings this layered metaphorical world to life as we follow our protagonist&#8217;s (\u00d3lafur Arnalds) experiences, manifested and symbolised all around him through dance, live music and sound design.
