Director's Statement: I wanted to conjure something that felt like a dream. Grasping a half forgotten memory. Walking through a neighbourhood you used to know. A friendship that faded away. Trespassing in the public pool. Two bodies become one for a moment. An undercurrent of dread. A coming of age horror art film. The camera as a dancer. Intuition. Missing the last bus of the night. The darkness lurking in his apartment. A film about the confusion of when you could only sense, before you knew. Seems like a dream. Seems like a dream. Seems like a dream.
