She Loved Blossoms More

Losing a parent is hard – trying to revive one is even harder. Yet that’s exactly what a trio of young brothers attempt to do when, with their father’s support, they build a special machine together. It is designed to allow them to enter other time planes and dimensions. In one of them, they search for their long-dead mother whom they desperately want to bring back to our world. This visually arresting sci-fi horror film, full of strange characters and surreal imagery from Greek director Yannis Veslemes, is a raw study of grief and mourning, dressed in a darkly psychedelic coat that is fluffed up here and there with a fresh, lightening breeze of black humour. Veslemes will also be one of the guests at this year’s festival.
