SYNOPSIS
Notwithstanding the layman’s opinion, art and life are two different worlds, separated

by an impassable abyss. Where there is life, there is no art, and vice versa. Young artists have to make that difficult choice, sometimes from a rather young age. Our film is probably about that, the uneasy fate of an artist who must be ready to bear the weight of loneliness. It is a terrible, but wonderful fate that no one can escape. What has always been, and always will be.
