Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Brynntrup creates his own rococo version of the classical myth of Narcissus and Echo, a story of longing, love, and self-love. Brynntrup comments "A film in the form of a riddle is a special kind of entertainment film whereby the film’s content must be deduced from the film’s formal structure."

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
