The Process

Original title in Estonian: Protsess

2010 | Students film, Short | Director: Vallo Toomla

Message: Assigned unique roles in life, individuals must search deep within the apparent absurdity of existence to achieve spiritual self-realisation.

Desire to get somewhere, out of the process, endless dividing that never ends, but always ends up somewhere. Pulls and drags to the new, but similar with the old. A story about quilt, lacking in oneself, what reflects the lacking in everything around us. All is siding, dividing, multiplying, appearing, disappearing. Watching, suspecting. Fear that comes from triviality.
