From its Clermont-Ferrand premiere comes a mythic fable exploring memory and nostalgia.

A boy who thought he was born blind can suddenly see. He realises it takes seven years for visions to pass through his retina, meaning he will spend the rest of his life experiencing past and present contrapuntally. This temporal collision is beautifully visualised by combining colourful, tactile stop motion with monochromatic 2D animation, in a melancholy and moving allegory about perpetually living in the past.
