Gloom

A free-flowing, poetic short film filled with expressionist imagery, old photos and abstract moments, led by a voice-over in which the director tells us personal memories of his youth and his recent life in the hopes of sketching a clear image of the complex struggle of growing from an innocent child to a weary adult.

An experimental journey through a year in the life of the director, using his always playing playlist to cross the boundaries of fiction and documentary.
