The Lightness of a Stone (2013)
Description
Film depicts a journey of carefully collected stones from a small island in Malaysia to an old olive farm in Tuscany. Each of the gathered stones is a distinctive object, coming with a set of stories important to their collector. These rocks are formed by tectonic movements, atmospheric changes and interactions with splashing waves. Harder rocks merge with soft ones, often penetrating them and splitting them slowly over time. Iron compounds leave traces on stone surfaces. Corals grow on them, too. After unpacking the stones in Italy the memories and moments of his numerous visits to the island revive.
