Description:
From agony to ecstasy, love spans the full gamut of human emotion. The greater the pleasures we experience the more painful are our traumas and our losses become harder to bear. That is the cruel irony of love.
Eric Whitacre's music soars from darkness to blinding light and lends an ethereal quality to this classic Depeche Mode song. It conjures human responses from our soul and makes hairs on our body stand erect. The beauty of the voices lends a poignant irony to the meaning of the words. The music is simultaneously heart-warming and heart-wrenching.
A couple struggle to cope with their love and loss but there is hope they may find peace without words. This film strives to create a resonance with the music as if the sounds and the images have grown together, like a loving parent and child. It is about the greater power of other forms of communication, from body language to nature's cycles. Things we can derive great pleasure from yet which we ignore at our peril. Ultimately the film is about one's self, one's inner thoughts (where silence is rare) and about one's place in the universe.
