The documentary movie PANTA REI ("Everything
Flows," an old Greek proverb by Heraclites) is about the
"birth and death" of seasons in the eyes of children. Ibrahim
and Amra Hrustic are playing carelessly in their settlement in
different seasons. They are picking flowers, looking at their
dearest trees, going on the same path. While they are looking
at the coming of spring, summer, autumn and winter, they are
admiring them. But, when a season is undergone they feel
sadness. The honeybees and butterflies are flying in front of
their eyes, the grass is being mowed, the jam is being made,
and the last leaflet is falling from the bough. When the
winter comes, they are playing on the snow and making the
snowman. But suddenly they realize that their favorite tree is
being cut, the snowman is being dissolved; that imagination is
far from reality.There is no speech in the film, so that
greater illusion is created utilizing pictures and
sounds. |
