In broken fragments through which the heart-beat of the sun can be felt, we travel past images of nature, lonely figures in a comfortless landscape. The intangibility of beauty, poetry, music, the song of a bird. Colours fade and the perspective changes, like charts that creep up from nowhere and lead to nowhere. How mentionable is the unmentionable? Is it not better to give a vague indication and to leave the rest in silence: to be filled in, experienced by the reader, the listener, the viewer. The video is a homage to a young Brazilian poet who, like Sylvia Plath, unfortunately died too young. An attempt is made to capture her sensitivity by showing her post and her favourite works, by playing her favourite music and quoting texts from the Nobel prize winner Czeslaw Milosz, whose work she was the first to translate into Portuguese. "...go, go, go, said the bird, mankind cannot bear very much for reality..."
