SILENCE

Portrait

Impressionist glimpses of a day on a family farm. An infant being bathed, two small blond boys teasing each other, playing with a dog. At dusk the father comes home and goes to bed. The ensuing images are dream-like: sunset, a long jetty, grey kingfishers in flight. How to distinguish dream from reality? The tranquillity of nature finds its reflection in the family’s way of life.
