Elegy

The British poet John Milton is the inspiration to this film with images of great beauty about the contradictions of the human soul, torn between the Beautiful and the Horrible, Guilt and Innocence, in a journey through Art and the representation of the human body. This is the third short of director Jérémy Adonis, following “Zone 37” (2015) and “Son of Icarus” (2016). With Pierre Anganda.
