DESCRIPTION
“A year without summer” is a poetic tale about the eruption of the Tambora volcano in 1815 and the consequences it caused around the world. The film aesthetizes the global catastrophe of the so-called "year without summer" to deal with the fear that has accompanied us for a long time: the fear of the end of the world. This play is a dreamlike delirium, our shared dream, the place where our thoughts met during the lonely return home by bus, this play composed of the crumbs that accidentally fell onto the concrete. When lit by the sun, they looked like cosmic particles.
