Synopsis
Moon traverses an enigmatic world devoid of adults, encountering a sage in a mountain cabin. Inspired by Dom DeLillo’s "The Word for Snow," Ben Rivers crafts a road movie set in the near future, saturated with unease and wonder. The film incorporates Rivers’ 2022 short "The Minotaur" as a work created by the children themselves. With a dreamlike atmosphere and supernatural overtones, it evokes the Greek dramas of Pasolini, questioning if the journey exists only in the protagonist's imagination.
