The self-immolation of a character from Tarkovsky's Nostalghia triggers a meditation on faith and irrevocable actions. A haunting play with music and animation.

Radically deconstructive in its interpretation of a famous Tarkovsky-sequence, Yaskinksy reverses the original order of the sequence and blends it with white noise and hand-drawn sequences. She also ties her act of appropriation in with a suicide scene from Bresson and other, more serene images and sounds.
