Ogasavara

An inter-mixture of snap-shots of everyday existence, stop frame techniques and heartfelt irony is interwoven here to a fantasy carpet that speaks of a perfectly normal life.

Murad and Masha want to get married. They request gifts from their neighbours and arrange the few modest possessions they own into a future home. Occasionally Masha has her doubts, at which point Murad reassures her that he'll always be by her side. It generally doesn't work however, or the conflict resolves itself in a magnificent stationary shot. An inter-mixture of snap-shots of everyday existence, stop motion techniques and heartfelt irony is interwoven here to a fantasy carpet that speaks of a perfectly normal life. KF
