A white square in a blue sea, a microcosmos where you can hear time passing by.

SALIVA

SUMMER CLOUDS
Dir: Axel Danielson / Sweden / 2004
The July afternoon air is thick with the song of crickets. A man, a girl and a boy – three different people in one location. In between them lies the rye field and at the horizon, the storm clouds are building. When the rain falls this afternoon, everything will change…
