Ariadne's Thread (2014)

Ariadne's Thread is a poetic contemplation of the idea of love, separation, travel, and the concept of not belonging. Using poetry as the only form of dialogue, the film tells the story of Tara, a young woman struggling with an outburst of emotions as her lover, Alex, declares that he's leaving. She does not know why or when, but she knows he will leave. The film studies her state of mind while dealing with concept of separation, dividing it to different levels. The first level, that of "reality" is her relationship with Alex. The second level, "the subconscious", relates her situation with Alex to an older story in her past in which she was deeply heartbroken. The final level is the level of the "the ethereal" - the state of dream, or the poetic, artistic level in which Tara can only function. The story follows Tara's transformation, as she travels the interweaving landscapes of dream, reality, poetry and love, and a beautiful symphony comes out.
