While the Green Grass Grows

The grass is always greener on the other side, and for now he’d like to watch it grow. The paradox of the transience of life is most clearly reflected in the moments when it fades away. Julie and Freddy, the director's parents, are slowly leaving this world, and their son decides to capture this painful moment on camera. The result is a documentary created using the associative method, composing stimuli in a single line as they unfold in the director's perception. In a cascade similar to the rivers flowing from Swiss mountain peaks and rolling down to the ocean, Julie and Freddy also headed from Europe to Canada many decades ago in search of a new life, which is now coming to an end.
