A dreamscape woven from light, shadow, and whispered echoes of the soul, MYth is an experimental poetic film that traces the spiritual journey of a human being dissolving into the fabric of the universe.
Through fragmented memories, surreal landscapes, and ethereal soundscapes, the film deconstructs the self—peeling away layers of identity, history, and desire—to reveal an intimate dialogue between the finite and the infinite.
Guided by shifting visions of the elements—water, fire, air, earth— and cosmic voidsthe audience embarks on a cyclical spiritual journey through nine chapters: emergence, detachment, grounding, dream, awareness, dissonance, unity, doubt, and faith. The boundaries between body and soul blur as voices from forgotten realms sing poetic fragments of longing and liberation. Time fractures; only sensations remain.
As the journey unfolds, the film invites the viewer to dissolve their own contours, slipping into the inbetween spaces of existence where past and future collapse into a single breath. In this hypnotic meditation on being and beyond-being, MYth does not seek answers but instead opens a threshold to a deeper, wordless knowing.
