Lapilli | Trailer | Karlovy Vary IFF 2024 (Proxima Competition)

From the sea, through dark caverns, to volcanic deserts, LAPILLI is a personal reckoning that dives deep into hard matter. Traversing through rocky landscapes, director Paula Ďurinová deals with the sudden loss of her grandparents. An unexpected disappearance uncovers a new horizon. Strings of old autoharps now resonate in the gorge. Phases of grief unfold in this emerging ecosystem, offering a perspective full of empathy for minerals and life that is no more.
