Don’t Look at the Finger
Hetain Patel
A woman and a man stand opposite each other in a church. They prepare for a ritual. Is it a wedding? They move closer, but they do not seem to know each other very well. Soon, the approach becomes a battle. Their communication is comprised of a language fusing kung fu and sign language. What kind of ritual are we actually witnessing? What does it want to tell us?
Duration: 15 min. looped
