Lapilli

LOGLINE:

A soft film about hard matter.

SYNOPSIS: 

From sea flows through dark caverns to volcanic deserts. LAPILLI is a personal reckoning that dives deep into the hard matter. Traversing through diverse rocky landscapes, director Paula Ďurinová deals with the sudden loss of her grandparents. An unexpected disappearance uncovers a new horizon. Strings of old autoharps now resonate in the gorge. Phases of grief unfold in this emerging ecosystem, offering a perspective full of empathy for minerals and life that is no more.
