From the sea, through dark caverns, to volcanic deserts, LAPILLI is a personal reckoning that dives deep into hard matter. Traversing through 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.
«“Lapilli” leaves no doubt that feelings of pain and helplessness can harbour greater strength, but also a very special poetry and beauty. The interplay with an organic experimental soundscape opens up an intimate, almost universal experience». Carolin Weidner
