film about the desire of listening. An intermingling of voices from childhood, dreams, history, sex and politics. A visual essay about the universe of sounds. What is sound? What is the sound experience? Sound placed and replaced as Energy. Nothing more should be said. The final conclusion, while the spectator flies over an infinite sea, talks about spreading fragility open. That is the Sound.

Omar, one of the main figures of the Brazilian avant-garde whose film Triste Trópico (1974) is a delirious interpretation of Lévi-Strauss’ anthropological ideas, made this experimental film as an homage to his friend Raúl Ruiz. In this film, Omar explores the political and artistic differences between both of them, while reflecting on cinema and their respective countries: Brazil and Chile.
