Why this film

Our time feels restless. We are not crazy and we are not bad — something else is happening. We are trying to live seven dimensions in four.

We built instruments for length, width, height and time. With those same instruments we also try to measure love. And meaning. And the sense that there is more. They were not made for that.

The fifth, sixth and seventh dimensions — G, W and N — are not far away. They are beneath your feet, in your breath, in whom you love, in what you feel without having words for it.

This film brings them back — in language, in image, in sound. Seven films in one, each 87 seconds long, held together by one voice and one promise: what you knew then is still true. You just did not need it anymore.

This film is also available in other languages.
