Faces
Sie machen ein einfaches Foto – Sie versuchen, nur eine Sekunde still zu halten. Die Zeit vergeht und das Foto hält eine Sekunde ihres Lebens fest. Auf dem Friedhof werden die Fotos zu Symbolen des "Andenkens an den Toten".
The movie explores the emphasis of the human face in the photo frame. The orchestra of faces forms a visual essay about human life.
