The Rest

The Rest

Characters expelled into an abyss, wandering in an attempt to build an identity. Attempts that do not reach their aim. They fade, break and merge into others.
Memory pieces, residues of a rambling speech, inform its universe.
Like in a jigsaw puzzle, they try to reconcile their movements with time and space; moving among fractured memories, without names or timeframes, memories made of shapeless material.
