People come, people go - Yet everyone is moving in the same direction. We all are sharing something that we are unaware of, creating one big picture we are unable to see.
The film explores the idea of how everyone is connected in a way we may not realise. By sharing time, space and movement, we overlap and create a bigger picture. We all are walking down our own line of time, believing we live in our own time line, however this line constantly overlaps with the line of others – or perhaps we all are moving on the same line – and all lines are connected through a constant process of change.

Early Concept Art
Les humains vont et viennent, les humains vont – cependant, tous vont dans la même direction ; en effet, nous – humains-partageons l’espace sans que nous en ayons pleinement conscience, créant de nos déplacements une image d’ensemble impossible à percevoir, à moins d’imaginer un œil omniscient en faisant le schéma.
Le film explore cette idée et par l’animation de traits simples et très efficaces puisqu’ils suffisent à distinguer à partir de la silhouette hachurée d’une personne et y revenant, tous les humains, sans ostracisme d’âge ni de genre ; sans autres actes que leurs mouvements, sans fonds ni paysage ni lieu précisés. Comme tous connectés à un même dessein – optimisme d’un souhait partagé – ou un même programme – pessimisme d’une absence de liberté de pensée, et cela sans le réaliser, pas de paroles, d’intertitres : ils vont et viennent, en lignes diverses, se croisant sans se connaître. Partageant le temps, l’espace et le mouvement, leurs déplacements se chevauchent créant ainsi une image englobante.
- Simone Dompeyre (Art curator of the International Encounters Traverse)
