Nowhere Near

An experimental, non-narrative film exploring intimacy and the tension in a relationship between two people as they balance being physically removed and seeking contact, and how this intensifies the emotions they share. The film is exhibited through the lens of four different emotions: love, fear, joy and sadness. These are presented at face value without much explanation. The main focus is on their outward physical expression, both independently, and about one another, without the film having a clear temporal structure, rather presenting this relationship in a single instant and all at once.

Delight

The film's main theme is obsession. An obsession with love, with art, originality, copying, with success, money and... with oneself. Sooner or later, if we lose our rational upper hand over it and let ourselves be dragged down by it, every obsession leads to destruction. But it is only when being dragged down, in spite of all the cuts and bruises, that we find a unique DELIGHT, if only for a few short moments - and what else is life really about? It is like a drug. What at first seems to be weak and trivial is capable of expanding and growing into a serious problem that can appear to be absolutely incomprehensible and absurd to those who have never experienced anything like it.
