A Square
Synopsis
A boy painting some letters on the walls of a city house with a piece of chalk takes us to the adjacent square where public life is being performed on a sunny day: Children, women, men, young and old - everyone is at play, chasing each other, dancing with each other, talking or screaming, always in movement. The camera captures this moment of collective life in a breathtakingly fluid movement, giving us the feeling that we could potentially be every single one of them or all of them at once, close to everything and at the same time strangely detached, flying above and watching life unfold from afar.
