An adaptation of “Sea Foam”, a chapter from Cesare Pavese’s “Dialoghi con Leucò” published in 1947. The ancient Greek poet Sappho and the nymph Britomartis meet beside the sea and have a conversation about love and death. Sappho is said to have thrown herself into the ocean from lovesickness. Britomartis apparently tumbled off a cliff and into the water while fleeing from a man. Together, the two discuss the stories and images that have emerged around them to try and understand, at least for a moment, the bittersweet nature of desire.

시코락스는 누구일까? 셰익스피어 『템페스트』의 등장인물 중 가장 먼저 섬에 발을 들여놓은 자이지만, 안타깝게도 시코락스의 대사는 나오지 않는다. 프로스페로는 그녀를 공기의 정령 아리엘을 나무에 가둔 교활하고 사악한 늙은 마녀라고 간략히 설명한다. 그녀는 왜 아리엘을 나무에 가뒀을까? 프로스페로의 말을 믿어도 되는가.

Eleven young film-makers got together to collaborate in this atypical project. Atypical not only because of its technical specs, but because of its narrative structure. There are several scenes with only the city in common, and more as a conceptual presence at that than as a precise geography. None of those scenes contains a single "story": Each one of them is part of a larger situation that we cannot see, as though the beginning and end of each "story" had to be filled in by the audience.
