An empty space, a human body in, above or under water. An eel lying on dry land, gasping for air. In this world between dream and hallucination created by Mihai Grecu – that has water as its central element – the computer-generated 3D-simulations are not to be immediately decoded as synthetic images. A film in which one literally wants to be immersed.
