Origin

Director: Lin de Mol
Short, existential film poem is a metaphor for the beginning of life and the passing of time. A mother helps her child take the first steps in the middle of a grand, desert-like landscape.


An egg lies hidden in a thick layer of snow, among the conifers. A clock is ticking. While an ostrich is performing a fiery dance, a mother helps her young child take the first steps in the middle of a grand, desert-like landscape in New Mexico. The images are accompanied by a poem and a well-wrought sound design. Short, existential film poem is a metaphor for the beginning of life and the passing of time.
