Spirit Diaries

A formalist documentary film, which intends to examine the clear concept of obsessive sensation. The film will dig a subterranean-inner consciousness tunnel via the different kinds of obsessions; obsession with love, obsession with death, food, knowledge, money, sex, control, exposure, cleaning, fame, etc. The film will sketch a line connecting obsession, to the spirit of the time and to the modern lifestyle. The film will bind them together; while considering the determination that obsession is the most common "disease" of the 21st century (this following the collapse of the religious institute in the previous century and the beginning of the collapse of the capitalistic dominant in the current day). The intense process, through which the film will take the viewer, will try and examine how the obsession is created, what feeds the obsession, how does obsession serves the person, and how it is motivated by an endless aspiration of the person to achieve salvation, a state of euphoria.

The village around them is empty almost every resident left for the city or died so our characters live as if on an island. Their children clean the sewer system, learn English and German, and grow older before our very eyes.
