A man returns home, defeated in war. The battles and ideologies are over. This film constitutes her explicit tribute to men, to whom the film is dedicated (along with Carl Jung). “The hero always has a mission, and the woman-artist shows his failure, his fall, filming him and accompanying him as he struggles to walk on crutches. She looks on at this failure with pity but her gaze gives the warrior, even in his fall, a way to vindicate himself: to reach his resting place by his own means. The warrior can (and must) always vindicate himself. The feminine gaze is compassionate and from out of this compassion, admiration is born”.
“The freedom of working with very little money is the freedom from having to sell, it is the freedom of working at home and by hand, without big crews or sets. Nor any time constraints. One shot is taken per day, or one per year. Each one chooses their time and space. For that reason, and for everything else, experimental film is a subversive art, more so than documentary or political cinema. More subversive than intellectual or conceptual cinema. Which is why so few go into it, and even fewer stay”. Narcisa Hirsch
